Patent ID: 7061514

Claim:
An imaging device comprising: a plurality of light sources configured to emit a plurality of light beams used to form latent images for the formation of images upon media; a photoconductor configured to provide the latent images corresponding to the images; a scanning device configured to scan the light beams on the photoconductor to form the latent images; a developing system configured to develop the latent images using at least one marking agent; a transfer system configured to transfer the marking agent of the latent images to the media; and a control system coupled with the light sources and configured to monitor positional information of at least one of the lights beams with respect to the photoconductor and to monitor positional information of the transfer system and to select one of the light sources to generate a light beam comprising data for a first scan line of one of the latent images and to select the other of the light sources to generate a light beam comprising data for a first scan line of an other of the latent images to be formed, and wherein the control system is configured to select the one and the other of the light sources responsive to processing of the positional information.
