ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are systems and methods for limiting movement of medium on an imaging apparatus comprising positioning the medium against an imaging surface, moving a moveable surface to sandwich the medium between the imaging surface and the moveable surface, and passing air through at least one opening disposed to reduce forces acting on the medium that are caused by air currents generated adjacent the imaging surface when the moveable surface is moved.
