Abstract:
A media stacker ( 100 ) comprises a stacking platform ( 102 ), a feed mechanism ( 104 ), a media arresting mechanism ( 106 ) and a controller ( 108 ). The feed mechanism conveys media sheets for dispensing onto the stacking platform, wherein the media sheets are dispensed onto the stacking platform with a momentum imparted by the feed mechanism. The media arresting mechanism reduces the momentum of media sheets. The controller determines that a trailing edge of a media sheet is to be dispensed onto the stacking platform, and further control the media arresting apparatus to reduce the momentum of the media sheet in response to the determination.

Claim (Index 15):
A printer comprising a media stacker, a speed control module and a sheet separation module, wherein:\n the speed control module is to control a speed at which successive sheets of print media are conveyed through the media stacker, wherein a first portion of the length of each sheet is conveyed at a first speed, and a trailing portion of each sheet is conveyed at a second speed which is lower than the first speed; and the sheet separation module is to control the printer to provide printed sheets of print media to the media stacker with a separation determined based on the difference between a determined time to convey the trailing portion of a sheet at the first speed, and the time taken by the media stacker to convey the trailing portion of the sheet at the second speed.
