Abstract:
1. A deskew apparatus comprising: a feedpath along which print medium is supplied; a deskew mechanism configured to achieve a desired alignment of a leading edge of said print medium relative to said feedpath; at least two sensing members downstream of said deskew mechanism, including a first sensing member having a fixed position near one side of said print medium progressing along said feedpath and including a second sensing member mounted for movement so as to accommodate print media of different dimensions, said sensing members being enabled to generate data indicative of an actual alignment of said leading edge relative to said feedpath; and a controller enabled to reverse a direction of said print medium in response to determination via said data that said actual alignment is outside of a tolerance of said desired alignment, said controller being configured to continue said reversing to return said leading edge to said deskew mechanism.
