Patent ID: 7533878

Claim:
An imaging device comprising an imaging station, a sheet media tray spaced from said imaging station, a C-shaped media guide path between said imaging station and said media tray, said C-shaped media guide path having a curve defining the C-shape, a media drive member to move sheet media from said sheet media tray into said C-shaped media guide path, a pivotally mounted first autocompensating system located in said C-shaped media guide path adjacent to said curve for driving media, said first autocompensating system having a slip drive located within a housing of said first autocompensating system, and a reversing motor to drive said first autocompensating system, whereby said reversing motor drives the sheet media in a first direction away from the sheet media tray to the C-shaped media guide path and said first autocompensating system is driven by the slip drive away from the C-shaped media guide path until rotation of the reversing motor is reversed causing said first autocompensating system to pivot to contact the sheet media and feed the sheet media to the imaging station in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction.
