Abstract

Devices have a movable roller, a fixed-position roller contacting the movable roller to form an exit nip transporting planar media, biasing members operatively connected to the movable roller, and adjusters contacting the movable roller. Such devices are connectable to a first machine or a second machine. Contact areas of the first machine hold the adjusters in a first position to position the movable roller in a position resulting in the exit nip transporting the planar media in a first exit direction. The second machine instead has void areas positioned to allow movement of the adjusters to position the movable roller in a position resulting in the exit nip transporting the planar media in a second exit direction different from the first exit direction.
