Abstract

A media pickup system (40) suitable for use with an imaging apparatus (30) including a pickup assembly (50) including at least one pickup bar (56) having a concave channel (58) a curved surface., and an actuator (52) configured to move the pickup bar between a first position and a second position, wherein the pickup assembly, when the pickup bar is in the second position, is configured to selectively engage and draw a portion of a first sheet of a stack of sheets of imaging media into the concave channel to bend the first sheet to create and air channel between and to separate the first sheet from a remaining portion of the stack of sheets of imaging media.
