Estimating the term…
A sheet registration system, especially for printers, with a lower cost and lower mass-movement system for both sheet deskewing and transverse registration repositioning of the sheets in the same integral system, especially for higher speed printing. Only one main drive motor can drive both of the two spaced apart sheet feeding nips, together with a lower power, lower mass, deskewing differential drive system for providing the relative differential angular movement of the two spaced sheet feeding nips to achieve the desired amount of sheet deskewing movement, without interrupting the forward feeding movement of the sheet. Also disclosed are extensive further reductions in the component mass of the lateral translation movement for lateral sheet registration.
An integral sheet registration system for providing sheet forward feeding, sheet deskewing by partial sheet rotation, and sheet lateral registration by lateral sheet movement, with first and second spaced apart sheet feeding nips;
A method of sheet registration with an integral sheet registration system for providing sheet forward feeding, sheet deskewing by partial sheet rotation, and sheet lateral registration by lateral sheet movement, with first and second spaced apart sheet feeding nips;
