Buckle control system

摘要

A sensor arrangement is provided for sensing the position of an edge of a fed sheet adjacent a front stop. Timing circuitry responsive to the sensor arrangement is used to time a reference time interval from the sensing of the edge. The timing circuitry is coupled to a sheet feeder and is capable of stopping the sheet feeder upon the expiration of the reference time interval. The reference time interval is selected to be sufficiently long to allow the sheet feeder when feeding a sheet to form a buckle in the sheet. The reference time interval is adjustable to provide adjustability of the height of the buckle.
