Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A skew detection device to determine a skew of a print media in a media path,
the device comprising:
a first contact roller rotatable around a first axis;
a second contact roller rotatable around a second axis, the first contact roller and the second contact roller being positioned so that the first axis and the second axis are not parallel, wherein the first axis and the second axis lie in a plane parallel to the print media;
a first sensor to measure a first rotation parameter of the first contact roller, and;
a second sensor to measure a second rotation parameter of the second contact roller,

wherein a movement of the print media over the device rotates the first contact roller and second contact roller, and wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are in communication with a controller to determine the skew of the print media based on the first rotation parameter and the second rotation parameter.
