Abstract
An imaging device has a print media path for transporting a print media sheet in a sheet feed direction. A mounting device is coupled to a frame. A media sensor has a body and at least one rotating member rotatably coupled to the body. The body is coupled to the mounting device. The mounting device is configured to facilitate movement of the media sensor in a direction toward the media path and to restrain movement of the media sensor in the sheet feed direction. The media sensor is positioned by the mounting device such that at least one rotating member rotates due to contact with a surface of the print media sheet as the print media sheet moves relative to the media sensor in the sheet feed direction along the print media path.
