Media stacking mechanisms
Example implementations relate to media stacking mechanisms. In some examples, a printing device can include a stacking mechanism that includes a tamper to tamp print media positioned within the stacking mechanism, and a controller comprising instructions to: tamp a first sheet of print media received at the stacking mechanism a first distance based on a first size of the first sheet of print media, tamp a second sheet of print media received at the stacking mechanism a second distance based on the second size of the second sheet of print media, wherein the second sheet of print media is positioned over the first sheet of print media, and tamp a third sheet of print media received at the stacking mechanism the second distance when the third sheet of print media is the first size, wherein the third sheet of print media is positioned over the second sheet of print media.

Conveyance apparatus, method, and storage medium
A conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a first storage unit, a second storage unit, a measurement unit, and a determination unit. The conveyance unit conveys paper. The first storage unit stores a width of standard paper. The width of the standard paper is a length in a direction crossing a conveyance direction of the paper conveyed by the conveyance unit. The second storage unit stores a user-registered paper width which is different from the width of the standard paper. The user-registered paper width is input by a user. The measurement unit measures a width of the paper. The determination unit determines, based on the measured width and the paper widths stored in the first storage unit and the second storage unit, a width to serve as the measured width.

IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, DOCUMENT FEEDER, AND METHOD OF DETERMINING SHEET SIZE
An image forming device includes a tray on which a sheet is to be placed and including a plurality of first electrodes arranged along a first direction, a sheet guide including a conductor and movable along the first direction to different positions relative to the first electrodes, a detection circuit electrically connected to each of the first electrodes and configured to detect an amount of electric charge in each of the first electrodes, a printer configured to form an image on the sheet supplied from the tray, and a processor configured to determine a size of the sheet placed on the tray based on amounts of electric charge detected by the detection circuit, and control the printer to form an image on the sheet using the determined size.
Tape Roller Accessory
A tape roller accessory that allows a person to adapt a standard GaffGun™ tape roller to accept standard rolls of tape other than the tape the Gafftech company provides. The adapter includes a metal shaft with threads on one end that screw into the standard GaffGun™ assembly and threads on the opposite end to accept a threaded thumbnut that helps retain truncated cone members which in turn support a 2″, 3″ or other width of standard tape roll. The truncated cone members can be made of resilient material to frictionally grab the edges of the core of a standard tape role.
Sheet feeding apparatus and image forming apparatus
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a supporting portion to support a sheet, a feeding portion to feed the supported sheet, and a base member opposed to the supporting portion so the sheet is supported by the supporting portion between the supporting portion and the base member. A regulation unit includes a regulation portion to regulate a position of an edge portion of the supported sheet and moves in a moving direction, and a sensor outputs an output value that changes in accordance with an amount of movement of the regulation unit. The sensor and the regulation unit are supported by the base member, and the sensor is supported by the base member at a position above an abutment position between the sheet supported by the supporting portion and the feeding portion in a gravity direction.
