Zusammenfassung:A medium tracking bar (10) is incorporated into an imaging device for preventing wrinkles or buckling of a medium strip (100) sliding over and touching the medium tracking bar, the medium tracking bar (10) being centrally pivoted to the imaging device by a connecting piece (12) and being centrally pivoted by an elastic element (28) to allow the medium tracking bar to swing like a teeter-totter board in any direction to counteract an uneven stress problem on the medium strip due to a misalignment of the medium strip (100) and to realign the medium strip when it passes through the device thereby to prevent wrinkles or buckling of the medium strip (100).
