Abstract: A media processing device adapted for support from a vertical structure. The media processing device may employ a laser printer, an inkjet printer, or other printing media processing technology. A media processing engine outputs media in a downward direction. A support bracket is coupled to the media processing engine and is adapted to support the media processing engine from a vertical structure, which may be a parapet wall. A media receiver is coupled to the bottom of the media processing engine and receives discharged media therefrom. In an illustrative embodiment, the media processing device is also adapted to rest on a horizontal structure. The support bracket and media receivers rotate to accomplish the transition from vertical to horizontal mounting. A simplified straight-through media path is utilized in the media processing device, which advantageously utilizes the force of gravity.

Abstract: An input tray mechanism for feeding sheet media to a page printer includes a structural configuration for preventing overfilling of sheet media therein. A support structure includes a receiving area, an enlarged opening thereto, and a shelf formed at a base of the enlarged opening for inhibiting passage of excess media beyond the shelf and further into the support structure. The shelf prevents overfill of the input tray mechanism by abruptly stopping excess media from passing further into the input tray mechanism. In a preferred embodiment, the support structure is formed as part of a side adjuster for the input tray, and the support structure is vertically oriented for receiving sheet media in an upright, on-end position.
