Patent ID: 7530657

Claim:
An imaging device, comprising: a media transport assembly; an encoder to generate a first signal in response to movement of the media transport assembly; a memory to store a plurality of numbers to identify a subset of the first signal; and a controller to generate a second signal in response to the first signal using the numbers, wherein the first signal includes a plurality of first timing pulses, the second signal includes a plurality of second timing pulses, the plurality of numbers includes a plurality of pulse select numbers, and the subset of the first signal includes a subset of the first timing pulses, wherein the controller is operable to generate the plurality of second timing pulses in response to the subset of the first timing pulses, wherein the controller is operable to detect receipt of one of the first timing pulses of the subset in response to receipt of a number of the first timing pulses equal to one of the pulse select numbers and further being operable to generate one of the second timing pulses upon receipt of the detected one of the first timing pulses of the subset.
