Abstract: An image forming device having a body that receives a removable media input tray. The media input tray comprises a manual feed section and an input tray section each for feeding a media sheet to an aligner nip. The manual feed section includes a channel through which a user slides a media sheet into a main media path. The input tray section includes a space for holding a stack of media sheets that are individually picked and moved into the main media path.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for moving media through an image forming device using a roller having a recessed kick area is described herein. The roller includes a contact surface having a first radius that extends 360° around the roller. The roller also includes at least one recess that extends inwardly from the contact surface along a sector of the roller, where a bottom surface of the recess has a second radius less than the first radius. As a result, along the sector of the roller having the recess, the width of the contact surface is less than the width of the roller. The recess comprises at least one kick surface on one end of the recess. As the roller rotates, the kick surface kicks a trailing edge of media exiting the exit roller system into a desired bin of the image forming device.
