Media-skew prevention
The MFP uses a registration shutter on the registration assembly to prevent skewed media from
entering the MFP. When the leading edge of the skewed media contacts the registration shutter, the
shutter does not open. The feed roller continues to rotate and the media begins to sag. When the
entire leading edge comes in full contact with the shutter, the media skew is corrected and the
registration shutter opens. When the shutter opens, the media can continue into the printer paper
path. The overall print speed is not affected. The following three figures illustrate this process.
