Abstract
A system and method include a printer input, a feedhead assembly, first and second sensors and a controller. The printer input is configured to hold a stack of media. The first sensor is coupled to the feedhead assembly and configured to measure at a first location of the stack of media. The second sensor is coupled to the feedhead assembly and is configured to measure at a second location of the stack of media. The controller communicates with the feedhead assembly and the first and second sensors to calculate a curvature of the stack of media in the input feeder.
