Abstract:
1. A customer replaceable unit (CRU) assembly for mounting in a sheet handling machine, the CRU assembly comprising: (a) a CRU frame having a frame size for fitting into a mounting portion within the sheet handling machine, said CRU frame including a forked member having a first set of hands for supporting said first roller and a second set of hands for supporting said second roller; (b) a first roller assembled rotatably to said CRU frame; (c) a second roller assembled rotatably to said CRU frame and for resilient contact with said first roller to form a sheet handling nip; and (d) a spacer and anti-mounting assembly including (i) a holding means formed in said CRU frame and (ii) a removable member mounted in said holding means for temporarily preventing mounting of said CRU frame into said mounting portion within the sheet handling machine, and for temporarily spacing said second roller out of resilient contact with said first roller so as to prevent roller flat spots, operating roller noise, and premature roller failure.
