ABSTRACT:
In one aspect, an apparatus includes a receptacle for holding a stack of sheet media, an image sensor, and a sheet media edge detector. The image sensor generates image data in response to light received from a view encompassing edges of ones of the sheet media held in the receptacle. The sheet media edge detector detects edges of individual ones of the sheet media in the image data generated by the image sensor. In another aspect, a stack of sheet media is held. Image data is generated in response to light received from a view encompassing edges of ones of the sheet media in the stack. Edges of individual ones of the sheet media are detected in the image data.
