Abstract
A modular customer installable bypass paper transport that allows printed output from a printer to bypass an output tray of the printer and pass directly into a separate finisher includes a cover assembly and two locating springs that are essential for proper location of idler which are part of the cover and drive rollers during re-engagement of the idler and drive rollers after a jam has been cleared. The two wire form springs are attached to the cover and a cover support member and are stressed from a home position when the cover is slid to a remote position for jam clearing. As the cover is slid back to its home position, the springs pull the cover and idler rollers into proper alignment with mating drive rollers.
