Patent ID: 7443547

Claim:
An apparatus for processing media, wherein said apparatus comprises: two rollers; at least one rotation mechanism coupled to at least one of said two rollers; an actuator; a mechanical trigger located between said actuator and a first of said two rollers; at least one circuit coupled to said rotation mechanism for control of said rotation mechanism, said at least one circuit coupled to said actuator for control of said actuator, said control of said actuator indexing said actuator to one of two positions via a temporary power pulse; and a housing enclosing said two rollers, said rotation mechanism, said mechanical trigger, said actuator, and said circuit; wherein said housing has at least one of the group consisting of a width less than 16 inches, a depth less than 12 inches, a height less than 12 inches, and a weight less than 6 pounds; wherein said rotation mechanism rotates at least one of said two rollers; wherein said rotation transports said media through said housing; wherein indexing said actuator to a first of said two positions causes a spring force of said mechanical trigger to couple said first of said two rollers with a second of said two rollers; and wherein indexing said actuator to a second of said two positions causes said spring force of said mechanical trigger to uncouple said first of said two rollers from said second of said two rollers.
