Abstract

In an implementation, an example method of indexing a media feed shaft in a media feed device includes rotating a media feed shaft and transmitting the rotation to an output gear that is remote from the media feed shaft. The method also includes sensing a feature of the rotating output gear and indexing the media feed shaft to the feature.
