The registration front
actuator detects the
leading edge of the
paper.
The leading edge of
the paper then
contacts the
registration rollers,
which are not turning
at that time, and
buckles slightly,
correcting skew.
After skew correction,
the registration rollers
start turning and the
paper is carried to the
transfer roller.
Function of Actuators
The registration front actuator detects the front-edge of paper, and sets the start
timing for registration roller drive. It also detects the passage of paper (jam
detection).
The registration rear actuator sets the start timing for writing the image to the
drum (image registration). It also detects the passage of paper (jam detection).
