An apparatus and method for moving a receiver having a lead edge and a trailing edge from an upstream engaging nip into registered relationship with an image-bearing member moving at an image-bearing member speed. A motor, a drive member operable to engage the receiver, and a drive coupling connecting the motor with the drive member are provided. A controller drives the motor in accordance with a velocity profile if the receiver is of a predetermined optimal receiver length, and drives the motor in accordance with a second velocity profile if the receiver is longer than the predetermined optimal receiver length.
