Abstract:
An apparatus and method for guiding recording media through a printer comprises a pinch roller which is pivotally coupled to the printer. The pinch roller may have a plurality of roller wheels. The degrees of freedom of the pinch roller allows the pinch roller to adjust its position and orientation with variations in the direction of motion of the recording medium as it is being fed through the printer.
