Explanation
The paper registration assembly controls the timing and alignment of paper as it enters the print path. Its job is to ensure each sheet is fed straight and squared before it reaches the drum and fuser. A worn or misaligned registration assembly causes paper to enter at a slight angle, producing output where the printed image is skewed or tilted relative to the page edges. The toner cartridge (B) affects print density and quality, not paper alignment. The laser scanner assembly (C) controls where the laser writes on the drum; a fault there would distort the image shape but not tilt it. The fusing assembly (D) bonds toner to paper via heat and pressure; fuser issues cause smearing or incomplete fusing, not skew.
