Abstract:
1. A registration system for transporting and delivering various substrates along a transport path to a predetermined destination location at a desired timing, comprising: at least one roll pair formed by a first, driven roll and a second roll defining a nip therebetween that is part of the transport path through which a substrate is passed; a lookup table including a compensation factor for plural different kinds of substrates, each compensation factor being based on physical characteristics of the substrate that impact the travel path of the substrate along the transport path; a substrate determination device that determines the substrate being transported; and a registration controller operably connected to the first roll to control a drive profile of the first roll, wherein the drive profile is compensated by the compensation factor to adjust the drive profile to correspond to the substrate being transported, wherein the compensation factor includes a paper path adjustment value that correlates to a deviation in actual paper path length traveled for the particular selected substrate type.
