Main motor rotation is transmitted to the registration clutch gear [A].
The registration sensor [B] is just before the registration rollers [C].
When the paper leading edge activates the registration sensor, the registration
clutch [D] turns off and the registration rollers stop turning. However, the tray paper
feed roller 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 at the proper time to align the paper with the image on
the drum. The registration rollers feed the paper to the image transfer section.
The registration sensor is also used for paper misfeed detection.
