Abstract
A pre-registration system increases the latitude of present active registration systems by decreasing the lateral offset of sheets before they reach the active registration system. This is accomplished by pivoting a long transport with a stepper motor in conjunction with sensing a lateral edge of the sheets in order to direct the sheets to the proper lateral position to be fed into the active registration system with a minimum of lateral offset.
