ABSTRACT:
Color banding resulting from facet-to-facet jitter in a color imaging device having a plurality of multifaceted polygons is reduced by matching the facets of the various polygons such that the composite image produced by the matched facets result in minimal color banding. The latent images are registered by starting each latent image with a selected "starting" facet such that the matched facets trace corresponding scan lines. Imaging offsets that would result from either advancing or retarding the exposure of a latent image such that the latent images begin with the correct facet are compensated for by moving a rotating cylinder mirror in each polygon such that the latent images are registered. Moving of the cylinder mirror is beneficially achieved using a controlled piezoelectric element.
