Paper Registration
The high-precision paper registration unit used in the D016 has
been adopted for use in this machine.
The position of the paper in the paper path is corrected twice by
the paper registration unit in the main machine, once to correct for
skew and once for side-to-side registration.
Paper registration is done once in the main machine. There is no
paper registration correction mechanism in the optional LCIT.
Skew correction. The paper pauses very briefly in the registration unit so that its
leading edge hits a raised registration gate [1] to buckle the paper and align it.
Side-to-side adjustment. After the registration gate lowers, the paper passes
through the shift roller unit, where a CIS [2] detects its front edge to determine if
the paper has shifted forward or back. If adjustment is needed, the shift roller
unit [3] holds the paper and moves forward or back to adjust the paper position
before the paper feeds to the paper transfer roller.
The combination of laser VCSEL technology and paper registration correction
ensures that the image is always precisely positioned on the paper.
