More on Registration
The paper feed clutch stays on slightly after the registration clutch turns off, so
that the paper buckles against the registration roller.
SP 1003 can be used to adjust the amount of buckling.
When feeding from the by-pass tray, the paper feed clutch can come on again to
help paper feed get started after registration. This is a good idea if there are
frequent jams at the registration roller just after registration.
These jams occur when the paper jumps over the registration instead of
going between them. The clutch comes on again for certain paper types,
such as thick paper, to try to push the paper between the rollers.
SP 1903 adjusts this feature.
