3.3.3 Paper registration
Passing of each sheet of paper which is separated by the separation roller is detected by the
registration front actuator. Then, the paper is fed further for a certain time, and its front edge
hits the stopped PF registration roller so that the paper skew is corrected. After such
correction, the registration solenoid is turned OFF, the power of the paper feed motor rotates
the PF registration roller, and the paper is fed to the belt unit. The fed paper is fed to the
delivery unit by the belt unit.

<Operation of actuators>
- Registration front actuator detects the passage of paper and the trailing edge of paper.
- Registration rear actuator detects the timing when the leading edge of the paper passes
through the PF registration roller to adjust the starting position for writing on the paper.
- When a paper jam occurs, both actuators will provide information to identify the location
where the jam occurred.
