  • Document handler platen transport having a belt urging system
    Patent number: 5382015
    Abstract: A document handling system adapted for delivery of documents to an imaging station of an imaging input terminal. The system includes a driven friction belt for transporting the documents across a platen of the imaging station. The belt is urged into planar orientation with the platen by slider plates which are ski-like members that bear upon the belt. The slider plates are arranged to bear upon the margins of the imaging area to smooth documents on the belt and to urge such document onto the platen, thus providing an improved imaging of documents delivered to the imaging station.
