Zusammenfassung:A substrate media height detector for a printing system having a print head including a media transport having a surface for moving a sheet of substrate media along a media path in a process direction. An elongate detection member includes a portion extending across the media path in a cross-process direction and is spaced from the media transport surface a predetermined distance. The detection member is movably attached to a support structure and is deflectable upon engagement with a sheet of substrate media. A deflection sensor senses the deflection of the detection member by the substrate media.
