There is disclosed a sheet media processing machine comprising a media inlet to receive sheet media along a feed direction from a first side of the machine and a media outlet to discharge sheet media along a discharge direction towards the first side of the machine. There is a feed mechanism to convey sheet media from the media inlet to the media outlet, and a re-feed prevention element disposed upstream of the media inlet with respect to the feed direction to inhibit recirculation of discharged sheet media along an external recirculation path between the media outlet and the media inlet. The re-feed prevention element is exposed to contact with sheet media and comprises an elastomer. There is also disclosed a feed guide comprising a re-feed prevention element, and a method in which such a feed guide is installed on a sheet media processing machine.

An image digitizing apparatus has an image digitizing sensor to read an image from media passing the image digitizing sensor, and a transport to move the media past the image digitizing sensor. The transport includes a first driven transport element, and a second driven transport element biased towards the first driven transport element. The first driven transport element and the second driven transport element receive the media therebetween.
