ABSTRACT:
A registration system including both a primary tamping device and a secondary scuffing device. The scuffing device includes a scuffer arm, an extending/retracting device, a drive subsystem, and an engagement control device. In various exemplary embodiments, the secondary scuffing device is retracted. The scuffing device can thus be used, when required, to register a substrate in the process direction and then retracted enabling the side tampers to cross process register the substrates. In various exemplary embodiments, substrates of varying sizes and types can be registered into common sets using the systems and methods of this invention.
