Patent ID: 7398047

Claim:
A system comprising: an image carrying member operationally configured to receive and transfer an image at an image transfer point of said image carrying member to a sheet material; a sheet registration system operationally configured to be capable of varying the arrival time of said sheet material at said image transfer point on said image carrying member; one or more sensors for detecting, with respect to time, a position and/or velocity of said image carrying member; and a processor arranged to receive the detected position and/or velocity from the one or more sensors and to communicate with said sheet registration system, the processor configured to: determine correction information based on a difference between the detected position and a nominal position of the image carrying member and/or a difference between the detected velocity and a nominal velocity of the image carrying member, forward the correction information to the sheet registration system to control the velocity of movement of the sheet material, and receive feedback information from the sheet registration system regarding actual velocity of the sheet material to refine the forwarded correction information and provide a more accurate transfer of the image at the image transfer point of the image carrying member.
