Abstract
The present invention includes a deskew mechanism for a mailing machine. The deskew mechanism includes a horizontal feed deck and a vertical registration wall. A roller is mounted for rotation and located spaced from the registration wall so as to extend upwardly from the feed deck. A deskew finger is pivotally mounted above the feed deck. The deskew finger includes an inboard ski located to form a corrugation gap relative to the roller and at least one outboard ski located at an opposite side of the roller from the registration wall. A stop mechanism restricts downward movement of the deskew finger to prevent the deskew finger from contacting the feed deck.
