摘要： Systems and methods are provided for detecting process direction registration errors in a printer. The errors are detected by analyzing a metric of a dash minimum response obtained from a test pattern. The test pattern contains dashes. At least one dash is shifted in the process direction in relation to another dash.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided for determining registration errors in the cross process direction of a printer. A first straight line is obtained by detecting line centers of a first plurality of dashes in a test pattern. A second straight line is obtained by detecting a line center positions of a second plurality of dashes in the test pattern. A difference between the off-set of the first straight line and the off-set of the second straight line is used in determining registration errors.

摘要： System and methods are provided for detecting color separation misalignment in raster optical scanners. A dash minimum response curve is obtained from a plurality of minimal responses sensed from a plurality of dashes in a test pattern. The frequency of the dash minimum response curve a is used to detect skew or bow, depending on whether the frequency is a constant or a variable.
