Abstract
A sheet registration system is for use in connection with a finisher for a digital printing system. A scuffer carriage has omnidirectional scuffer wheels with a plurality of overlapping rollers to provide uninterrupted traction to move media sheets against a registration wall for process direction registration. A pair of opposed tamper plates will move toward one another pushing the media sheets together in the cross process direction. The freely rotating scuffer rollers will allow free movement of the media sheets in the cross process direction. Thus, cross process registration is achieved simultaneously with process direction registration, and registration time is minimized. Process direction registration is maintained by not lifting the scuffer from the media sheets during cross process registration.
