摘要： A method of controlling sheet flow in digital print engines in which the nip rollers are driven independently by individual variable speed motors and sheet position sensors are disposed at each path gate and bend. The sensors provide sheet position/velocity signals to a controller which varies the speed of the individual nip drive motors according to an algorithm to prevent mis-positioning of the sheets and jamming.

摘要： A closed loop feedback method that continuously adjusts the lateral and skew position of a sheet includes a first sensor that is used to measure lateral sheet edge position. A second sensor measures the lateral sheet edge position at a certain distance from the first sensor. Sheet skew values can thus be calculated. Lateral and skew controllers provide outputs to lateral and skew actuators, respectively, to adjust the sheet position. A different method of registering sheets laterally and in skew enables active sheet deskew without translating the sheet in the cross-process direction. A sensor carriage position is controlled to find the sheet edge after which deskew control can start. The average value of the carriage position can then be fed in a feedforward manner to move the image location to match the average paper position. This achieves good average lateral registration and active skew control at a reduced cost.
