Abstract
A printing system includes a media transport assembly adapted to route media through a media path of the printing system, a motor adapted to drive the media transport assembly, and a power transmission arrangement operatively coupling the motor with the media transport assembly. The media transport assembly includes a pick assembly adapted to draw the media into the media path and a feed assembly adapted to feed the media through the media path. A portion of the power transmission arrangement is adapted to rotate in a first direction to couple the motor with the pick assembly and the feed assembly and rotate in a second direction opposite the first direction to couple the motor with the feed assembly and decouple the motor from the pick assembly.
