- the apparatus 400 includes a media diverter 402 and a guarding element 404 similar to those of the apparatus 100 shown in Fig. 1.
- the apparatus 400 also includes a lever element 406.
- the lever element 406 is coupled to the media diverter 402, such that any movement of the lever element 406 is translated to, or experienced by, the media diverter 402.
- the lever element 406 is movable in a direction marked as '408' in Fig. 4(b) and the media diverter 402 is movable in a direction marked as '410' in Fig. 4(b).
- the media diverter 402 may have notches 412 (visible on one side of the media diverter 402 in Figs. 4(a) and 4(b)) on which the lever element 406 may rest. Thus, any movement of the lever element 406 in the anticlockwise direction causes a movement of the media diverter 402 in the clockwise direction.
- the lever element 406 and the media diverter 402 are spring loaded to retract or set the media diverter 402 in a first position to route the cut-sheet media. Further, the lever element 406 is movable under the weight of roll media to set the media diverter 402 to the second position to route the roll media.

- the lever element 406 under the weight of the roll media 602, moves in a direction marked as '604' in Fig. 6(b), which in turn moves the media diverter 402 in a direction marked as '606' in Fig. 6(b).
- Such movements under the weight of the roll media 602 set the media diverter 402 in the second position, which allows the roll media 602 to pass over the apparatus 400 and into the second output region 512.
- the path followed by the roll media 602 towards the second output region 512 is marked as '608' in Fig. 6(b).
- the media diverter 402 and the lever element 406 of the apparatus 400 may be spring loaded. It may be noted that springs coupled to the media diverter 402 and the lever element 406 may be such that the weight of the roll media 602 can overcome the spring force of the springs to move the lever element 406 and in turn move the media diverter 402 from the first position to the second position.
- the apparatus 400 has the media diverter 402 and the lever element 406 which rotate between the first position and the second position.
- the media diverter and the lever element of the apparatus may move linearly to separate the paths of the cut-sheet media and the roll media for routing the cut-sheet media to the first output region and routing the roll media to the second output region.
- the lever element 406 of the apparatus 400 may be coupled to an actuator (not shown).

- the processor may operate the actuator to actuate the lever element 406 in a direction to set the media diverter 402 in the first position. If the print job is for the roll media, the processor may operate the actuator to actuate the lever element 406 in another direction to set the media diverter 402 in the second position.
- the actuator may be a linear actuator or a motor, depending on the assembly of the apparatus 400.
- the media diverter of the apparatus may be coupled to an actuator (not shown).
- the media diverter may be actuated by the actuator to set the media diverter in the first position when the cut-sheet media is printed by a print assembly.
- the media diverter may also be actuated by the actuator to set the media diverter in the second position when the roll media is printed by the print assembly.
- the actuator may be coupled to a processor of the apparatus or of a print assembly of a printing system to which the apparatus is coupled.
- the processor may determine whether a print job to be executed is for cut-sheet media or for roll media. If the print job is for the cut-sheet media, the processor may operate the actuator to actuate and set the media diverter in the first position. If the print job is for the roll media, the processor may operate the actuator to actuate and set the media diverter in the second position.
