6.11.7 PAPER REGISTRATION
The drive from the main motor [A] is transmitted to the registration roller through the
registration clutch [B].
The registration sensor [C] is used to correct paper skew and to detect paper misfeed.
The cleaning mylar [D] contacts the registration roller. It removes paper dust from the
registration roller to prevent the dust from going to the development unit via the
drum-cleaning unit.
The amount of paper buckle at the registration roller to correct skew can be adjusted with
SP 1003.
If jams frequently occur after registration, SP 1903 can be used to activate the relay clutch
so that the relay roller assists the registration roller in feeding the paper.
When feeding from the by-pass tray, the by-pass feed clutch activates and turns the
by-pass feed roller. This feature may be needed when feeding thick paper, and cannot be
used for the first paper feed tray.
A jam lever is provided to facilitate removal of jammed sheets.
