1. A compiling apparatus, comprising: a registration wall for registering media thereagainst; a scuffer mechanism for scuffing said media against said registration wall; and a registration system including a self-adjusting clamp mechanism that prevents said media from migrating back from said registration wall during compiling of said media in said compiling apparatus, said self-adjusting clamp mechanism including a spring-loaded ball bearing enclosed within a converging track between upper and lower walls that are connected to said registration wall, and wherein said upper wall of said converging track is slanted away from said registration wall and said lower wall has a first portion that is in a horizontal plane and a second portion that is slanted up and away from said first portion and converges with an end of said upper wall such that their convergence allows said media to enter freely against said registration wall while simultaneously preventing said media from moving away from said registration wall as said spring-loaded ball bearing is driven tighter into said converging track.
