    摘要: A color printer includes a recording element which is advanced along a path to receive color-separation images of a desired multicolor image to be printed. Color-separation image recording is effected by a laser scanner which operates asynchronously with respect to the movement of the recording element and functions to periodically scan an intensity-modulated beam of radiation across the moving recording element to record a multitude of equally spaced image lines that collectively define a two-dimensional latent image. In response to a print enable signal, the laser scanner begins scanning the first line of a color-separation image at any time within a line-time interval required to scan each image line. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the print enable signal is provided a predetermined fraction of the line-time interval earlier for the second and subsequent color-separation images of a desired multicolor image than it is for the first color-separation image. In this manner the color-separated images are better registered with respect to a nominal position on the recording element.

    摘要: A variety of sizes of color prints are made electrophotographically utilizing a single large size receiving sheet, for example, a receiving sheet that is 12.times.18 inches. The large size receiving sheet can be secured to a transfer roller to be cycled through the repeated single color transfers. The receiving sheet is large enough to receive one multicolor image of the largest size or an array of smaller sized multicolor images. The receiving sheet with smaller images is cut to size after transfer.

    摘要: Web tracking apparatus and methods are disclosed having particular utility in electrostatographic reproduction apparatus. A web includes a plurality of image frames allowing images to be written thereon and transferred therefrom to a receiver. A guide means moves such web along a path and includes a steering roller mounted for rotation about a caster axis and a gimbal axis. A web tracking system for controlling the guide means to effect lateral alignment of said web is provided such that the deviation of corresponding points of transferred images is minimized. Degradation of image registration due to mid-print corrections is eliminated and steering corrections are made less frequent by the use of adaptive and predictive algorithms. The writing and transfer of images is thereby accomplished in accurate registration and is particularly well-suited for use in forming accurate multicolor reproduction of superimposed images.
