Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0855626A2] Described herein is an apparatus for adjusting the nip normal force in a sheet transport. The transport has a drive roll (122) and an idler roll (124,125) forming a nip therewith. One end (121) of the idler roll is fixed and the other end (127) has an adjusting mechanism (130) to increase or decrease the normal force exerted in the nip to cause a sheet to skew as a result of the normal force.
