5.4 PAPER REGISTRATION
Main motor rotation is transmitted to the registration clutch [A] (located on the
lower registration roller shaft) through the relay gears [B].
The registration sensor [C] is positioned just before the registration rollers.
When the paper leading edge activates the registration sensor, the
registration clutch turns off and the registration rollers stop turning. However,
the relay clutch stays on for a bit longer. This delay allows time for the paper
to press against the registration rollers and buckle slightly to correct skew.
The registration clutch energizes and the relay clutch re-energizes at the
proper time to align the paper with the image on the drum. The registration
and relay rollers feed the paper to the image transfer section.
The registration sensor is also used for paper misfeed detection.
