Paper registration

After the paper top position is detected by the regist front actuator, the paper, separated into
individual sheets by the separation roller, is fed further for a specified time, and the paper top
position reaches the paper feed roller so that the paper skew is adjusted. Then, the F/R
solenoid is turned off, the paper feed roller starts turning, and the paper is fed to the transfer
roller in the drum/toner ASSY.

The regist rear actuator in the path from the feed roller to the transfer roller controls the first
print position on the paper. The printer starts transferring an image when a definite time
passes after the paper is passed through the regist rear actuator.
