    Abstract: Color imaging methods and systems are provided where each color separation image is to be registered in a composite manner under a variety of machine conditions. Registration sensors are provided to register the color separations under a variety of machine conditions while accounting for the different types of registration sensors used. A controller calibrates the registration sensors automatically based on set-up data and, using the calibrated sensors, controls the output of the image data for one or more of the color separation images to reduce or eliminate image registration offsets. The registration sensors are calibrated by directly measuring set-up marks during set-up. Each registration sensor outputs a feedback to the controller during set-up to account for phenomenon caused by variation in toner concentration or sensor susceptibility. The registration sensors provide a plurality of set-up sensor feedback values, one for each of at least four colors and one for a bare photoreceptor belt. The controller determines the differences between the set-up sensor feedback value for each of the four colors and the set-up feedback value for the bare photoreceptor belt and uses the determined differences to adjust the operating conditions for each sensor, including the amount of driving current applied to the sensor.

    Abstract: A method of correcting output image squareness in a laser printer system having a Raster Output Scanning (ROS) device with a pivotal mounting. The method includes printing a test pattern that includes a plurality of markers printed in a predetermined geometric arrangement and calculating a skew angle based on the measured distances, preferably using the Law of Cosines. The ROS device is then automatically rotated by an amount sufficient to correct the skew angle. The ROS rotation is performed automatically by an adjustment system connected to the ROS. The method optionally includes a scanner for scanning the test pattern image and making the measurements automatically via a program configured to analyze the scanned image.

    Abstract: An electrophotographic image forming apparatus has defined therein a longitudinal or process direction, and includes plural photoconductive drums, each having an image forming surface. Multiple printhead units are provided for generating image information bearing laser beams. Each printhead unit includes optics for scanning the laser beam to form a plurality of scan lines extending across the corresponding photoconductive drum in a transverse scan direction which traverses the process direction. Registration of a scan line from one printhead with a corresponding scan line from another printhead in the process direction is achieved by adjusting the time required to translate one of the scan lines from a location where it is electrostatically formed to a location where it is transferred to an image receiving medium. Adjustment of the translation time may be achieved by modifying the rotational speed of the associated drum. Printhead optics may include rotatable polygonal prisms having plane reflective surfaces which are started in a random phase relationship. Control of the drum rotational speeds is also effective to achieve a predetermined apparent scanning phase relationship among the prisms.
