Registration Drive Mechanism
! The registration motor drives the lower
registration roller.
Slide 436
# The registration roller has a dedicated motor, instead of a clutch. The shock of a
clutch turning on can agitate the toner on the latent image. This causes jitter near
the leading edge.
# The motor drives the lower roller.
# There is a paper dust remover (made from two mylar plates) by the upper roller.
