ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus uses an endless belt image member having a magnetic strip along one or more edges. A linear printhead is flashed in response to a magnetic encoder signal in the magnetic strip. Preferably, the apparatus has first and second linear writers and the magnetic encoding signal is created in the magnetic strip in conjunction with creation of a writing signal for the first writer with the second writer using the magnetic encoding signal to register its writing with the first writing. Preferably, an auxiliary signal is placed in the strip indicative of variable characteristics of either the image member or the image forming apparatus. This in turn is read by the apparatus and a charging, exposing or toning station controlled in response to the auxiliary signal.
