Abstract

See full text

An assembly for restraining media in an input tray includes a pick mechanism having a pick arm mounted at a first end thereof on a shaft. A media stop is positioned to be engageable by a leading edge of the media when the media is disposed in the input tray. The media stop is held by the pick arm in a media stop position for restraining the media in a media loading position when the pick arm is in a raised position and is released by the pick arm from being held in the media stop position when the pick arm is in a lowered position. A spring mounted above the pick mechanism imparts a downward force at the first end of the pick arm for holding the pick arm in the raised position in order to hold the media stop member in the media stop position.
