Abstract: Apparatus for precisely positioning one or more of the work stations of a document printer/copier relative to an internal drum, including a first member, attached to either a work station or the internal drum, having two sections, each section having a reference surface forming an angle therebetween, an actuator for changing the included angle between the first reference surface and second reference surface, thus enabling the included angle to be increased or decreased, and a second member having a reference surface that mates with the pair of reference surfaces, associated with the other of the work station or the internal drum, so as to accurately adjust the work station relative to the internal drum dependent upon the included angle of the first reference surface and second reference surface.

Abstract: For use with an apparatus for feeding sheets seriatim from a stack of sheets, the apparatus including a feed tube, such as an oscillating vacuum feed tube for example, defining a plurality of ports through which vacuum is effective for acquiring a sheet from a sheet stack and transporting such sheet from the sheet stack, a device for improving sheet separation and friction feed assist. The disclosed device includes at least one clip associated with at least one port of the feed tube. A friction member is secured to the clip and extends substantially radially outwardly from the oscillating vacuum feed tube so as to cause an acquired sheet to assume a corrugated shape. Accordingly, a sheet of the sheet stack, acquired by the feed tube, assumes a corrugated shape to readily separate from the remaining sheets in the stack, and the friction member assists in feeding of such acquired sheet from the stack.
