Patent ID: 8619109

Claim:
A method for imaging with pixels a repeating pattern of features in aligned relationship to a registration region comprising a repeating pattern of sub-regions, the method comprising: determining a pitch of the repeating pattern of sub-regions; adjusting a size of the pixels; operating an imaging head comprising an array of individually addressable channels to direct imaging beams to form an image swath on a media, each of the imaging beams being operable for imaging the pixels on the media; while forming the image swath on the media, controlling the individually addressable channels to image the repeating pattern of features; adjusting a pitch of the repeating pattern of features to equal substantially the pitch of the repeating pattern of sub-regions in a direction generally perpendicular to the image swath; and wherein adjusting the pitch of the repeating pattern of features to equal substantially the pitch of the repeating patterns of sub-regions comprises rotating the array of individually addressable channels with respect to the repeating pattern of sub-regions.
