ABSTRACT:
Embodiment herein being by placing a media sheet into a chamber. The chamber has a bottom, sidewalls, and a movable projection within a lower portion of the chamber. The movable projection has an upper surface and the media sheet can initially rest on the upper surface of the movable projection. The method can optionally perform a first alignment process (using an alignment mechanism) while the media sheet rests on the upper surface of the movable projection. Then, the method can retract the movable projection to allow the media sheet to fall onto the bottom of the chamber. Next, once the media sheet rests against the bottom of the chamber, the method performs a second alignment process, again using the alignment mechanism.
