Abstract

An embodiment of an assembly has a landing pad configured to receive media after the media is cut. The landing pad defines a first end adjacent a cutter, a second end opposite the first end, and a gap positioned between the first end and the second end. The assembly has an emitter, wherein the gap is configured to allow light from the emitter to pass through the gap when the media is not located on the landing pad.
