Patent ID: 8172228

Claim:
An integrated module for installation within a printer comprising: a module frame configured to fit within a predetermined space within a printer and to connect to a printer frame positioned about the predetermined space; a plurality of a printer subsystem components configured to mount to the module frame, at least one printer subsystem component having a default module media path and at least one diverter-directed module media path within the printer subsystem component, the at least one printer subsystem component being configured to connect to the module frame at a position that enables the default module media path and the at least one diverter-directed module media path to complete a printer media path through the predetermined space when the module frame having the printer subsystem component is connected to the printer frame; a cover assembly having a media guide surface and a latch member, the cover assembly pivotally secured to the module frame to pivot between a first position in which the media guide surface forms a boundary of a first segment of the at least one diverter-directed module media path and a second position in which the cover assembly exposes the at least one diverter-directed module media path and the default module media path, the latch member is configured to secure the cover assembly in the first position selectively; a first roller pair having a first roller, a second roller, and a biasing member, the first roller coupled to a first actuator configured to rotate the first roller, the second roller secured to the cover assembly and mounted parallel to the first roller, and the biasing member configured to urge the second roller toward the first roller; a second roller pair having a first roller, a second roller, and a biasing member, the first roller of the second roller pair coupled to a second actuator configured to rotate the first roller of the second roller pair, the second roller of the second roller pair secured to the module frame and mounted parallel to the first roller of the second roller pair, and the biasing member of the second roller pair configured to urge the second roller of the second roller pair toward the first roller of the second roller pair; a first sensor configured to detect the presence of a media sheet proximate the first roller pair; and a second sensor configured to detect the presence of a media sheet proximate the second roller pair.
