ABSTRACT:
A hand-drop motor assembly for use in an encoding apparatus is positioned in the vicinity of a hand-drop region of the encoder check guide path. It includes a motor which has a motor shaft extending out the top end thereof. Mounted to the shaft is a roller. Rotatably mounted to the motor shaft is a bracket, upon which is mounted a wheel, which is in compressive contact with the roller. When the motor is turned on, the bracket rotates such that the wheel moves into the hand-drop region, contacting a document therein and then moves the document along the check guide path to an encoder station.
