Registration

‰

Registration clutch 
transfers drive 
from main motor to 
registration roller.

‰

SP 1003 adjusts 
amount of buckle 
at registration roller 
to prevent skew.

‰

SP 1903: Adjusts 
the amount of feed 
from the feed roller 
to help get paper 
feed started after 
registration

Registration Clutch

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.

¾

SP 1003 can be used to adjust the amount of buckling.

‰

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.

¾

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.

¾

SP 1903 adjusts this feature.

¾

In lab tests, this problem was not found when feeding from tray 1. So there 
is no adjustment for tray 1.
