ABSTRACT:
A reproduction apparatus such as a copier or printer has an endless imaging member such as a flexible web which has a splice and a number of processing stations. The imaging member is divisible into a plural number of imaging portions as well as a non-imaging portion about and including the splice. The imaging member is movable in the copier or printer about a fixed path, and the processing stations are mounted at fixed points along the fixed path. To significantly increase the productivity of the copier or printer, a plural number of sensors are mounted spaced from each other about the fixed path for quickly sensing the splice for use in registering the imaging portions of the imaging member to the processing stations.
