ABSTRACT:
Image frame registration apparatus and methods are disclosed which have particular utility in a printing or reproduction apparatus that processes multiple image frames on a transported photosensitive member. Registration indicia for registering an image frame are written on the photosensitive member in an interframe or frame margin area. The indica are composed of discharged line patterns that are readable by a sensor array according to the charge variation or, after toning, the pattern of toned lines therein. The sensor array provides in-track and cross-track signal information to a control unit for synchronizing the electrostatographic processing of the registered image frames. In particular, servo-controlled drive means in the exposure and transfer stations are controlled with precision to provide, after the development and transfer of several registered component images to one or more receivers, an accurate multicolor reproduction.
