Transverse image registration for a digital color printer

U.S. Patent Number: 5394175

Abstract: An imaging system is provided for transverse registration of image exposures on photoreceptive belts subject to lateral deviation from linear travel in which a narrow rectangular slit in cooperation with a linear position sensor is used for the detection of lateral belt displacement and circuitry means are provided to generate corrective steering signals to either return the belt to a laterally registered position or to modify the drive input to the particular imager being used to re-register the start-of-scan of the image exposure frames.
