`CLAIMS
`
`1.
`
`A system to pick print media from a media tray and feed the print media
`
`to a media path, comprising:
`
`e pick rpiier te centeet the print media and pick the print media from the
`
`media trey;
`
`e meter t0 retete the pick reiter; end
`
`a centreiier te Operate the meter t0 rotate the pick reiier in a first mode to
`
`pick the print media from the media tray and Operate the meter to rctate the pick
`
`reiter in e seeend mode ditierent then the first mede te feed the print media te
`
`the media path”
`
`2.
`
`The system of ciaim 1, wherein the first mode cemprises e ctesed ieep
`
`centrei, and the seeend mode comprises an open toop centrei.
`
`3.
`
`The system dt claim 1, wherein the first mode is to rotate the pick reiier at
`
`e substantiatty eenstent veideity.
`
`4.
`
`The system et eiaim 1, wherein the second mode is to rotate the pick
`
`reiier with a substantieiiy censtant terque.
`
`5.
`
`The system of ciaim 4, further cemprising:
`
`e separatien reiier apposite the pick reiter, wherein the pick reiier and the
`
`separation reiier term a nip therebetween,
`
`wherein the sebstentiaiiy constant torque of the second mode is te
`
`everceme a drag terce cf the nip.
`
`6.
`
`The system at cieim 4, wherein the substantiatiy constant torque at the
`
`second made is te eveid picking a next print media trom the media tray.

`
`7.
`
`The system of ciaim t, wherein the print media has a ieading edge and a
`
`traiiihg edge, and further comprising:
`
`a pinch roiier to centact the print media and route the print media in the
`
`media path,
`
`wherein the centrpiier is to switch trpm the first mode to the second mode
`
`when the ieading edge of the print media is at the pinch roiier.
`
`8.
`
`A printer, cpmprieihg:
`
`a media tray to hoid a quantity oi print media; and
`
`a pick assemhiy to pick a sheet at the print media from the media tray
`
`and teed the sheet of the print media to a media path,
`
`wherein a pick reiier of the pick aesembiy is to rotate with a etibstantiaiiy
`
`ccnetaht veiocity to pick the sheet oi the print media from the media tray and
`
`rotate with a etibstahtiaiiy censtaht torque to feed the sheet of the print media tp
`
`the media path.
`
`9.
`
`The printer df claim 8, wherein rotation of the pick rdiier is to switch trdm
`
`the etibetantiaiiy constant veiocity te the substantiaiiy constant terque when a
`
`ieading edge of the sheet of the print media is at a pinch reiier oi the media
`
`path.
`
`16.
`
`The printer ot ciaim 8, wherein the substantiaiiy constant torque is to
`
`overcome a drag force of the pick aeeembiy.
`
`it.
`
`The printer pi ciaim 8.. wherein the substantiaiiy constant torque is to
`
`avoid pick ot a next Sheet of the print media from the media tray.
`
`t2.
`
`A methdd pi picking and feeding print media, comprieing:
`
`centacting print media with a pick reiier and picking the print media trpm
`
`a media tray, inciuding rotating the pick matter in a tiret manner; and

`
`after picking the print media, maintaining the contacting of the print media
`
`with the pick roiier and feeding the print mediate a media path, inciuding
`
`rotating the pick roiier in a second manner different than the tiret manner.
`
`t3.
`
`~{he method of ciaim 12, wherein rotating the pick reiier in a first manner
`
`inciudee reteting the pick reiier at a etibstentiaiiy constant veipcity.
`
`t4.
`
`The method et eteim 12, wherein retating the pick rciter in a second
`
`manner ineiudee rotating the pick reiier with a substantieiiy censtant torques
`
`15.
`
`The method pt ciaim 12, wherein rotating the pick reiier in e eeeend
`
`manner inciudee switching from the first manner tc the secend manner when a
