Narrative:
During descent for landing at teb airport; I was flying the aircraft and the first officer was the pilot monitoring. The autopilot was on with VNAV selected and the aircraft was descending per the JAIKE2 arrival in the FMS. ATC clearance was to follow the arrival as charted. The aircraft was descending at 2800 FPM in order to make all of the crossing fixes; which it was as charted. The aircraft has only 1 set of commercial charts per our operating manual. Our company procedure is for the pilot monitoring to have the commercial plate; so the first officer had it on his yoke clip. As we descended through 9300 ft; the first officer grabbed the altitude selector and spun it from 7000 ft to 9000 ft and stated loudly that we were gonna bust an altitude and we needed to stop at 9000 ft. I told him that we were established on the arrival and he was confused and to look at the plate. He then said 'no; we need to level out.' I made the safe choice; disconnected the autopilot; and leveled out at 8900 ft. While doing this; I said 'look at the plate and look at our next fix.' he then said 'I don't know where we are; I am gonna ask ATC.' I then grabbed the plate; confirmed that we were descending to cross regle at 7000 ft exactly as ATC and the plate instructed and once again began the descent with the autopilot off. I extended the speed brakes and attempted to make regle (the next crossing restrictions) at 7000 ft. As I did this; the first officer asked ATC; 'what is our next altitude?' ATC stated; '7000 ft.' I can't remember what altitude we crossed the fix at; but it was higher than 7000 ft. There seemed to be no other aircraft in our area and ATC made no comment to us that there was any problem. The company purchased efb's for each pilot; but they have yet to be installed.
