Abstract:
A method for locating a printing substrate moving on a conveyor surface. The method includes i) providing the printing substrate moving on a conveyor surface at a selectable speed and in a feed direction, ii) providing an illumination means configured to emit a light beam incident on the conveyor surface according to a predetermined angle, iii) acquiring a predetermined plurality of lines of the substrate, as a function of a line frequency defined as a function of an acquisition rate, iv) generating a primary image as a function of the predetermined plurality of lines, v) detecting, from the primary image, points representative of the substrate, and vi) calculating location coordinates of the substrate relative to the first predefined reference as a function of the plurality of representative points.

Claim (Index 26):
A system for digital printing on printing substrates, comprising:\n (a) an insertion interface configured to receive a digital image to be printed on at least one printing substrate; (b) a conveyor surface configured to convey a printing substrate with a random orientation towards a printing apparatus at a selectable speed and in a predefined direction, said printing apparatus comprising at least one printing support bar which supports a plurality of print heads configured to print said digital image on said at least one printing substrate; (c) a locating device, positioned on an infeed side of said apparatus, and configured to locate said at least one printing substrate moving with a random orientation on said conveyor surface, according to  claim 14 , thereby determining location coordinates of said printing substrate relative to a first predefined reference; and (d) a processing unit, in data connection with said printing apparatus and with said locating device, comprising a rotation module configured to roto-translate said digital image as a function of said positioning location coordinates of said printing substrate, thereby determining a roto-translated digital print image for said printing substrate,\n wherein said plurality of print heads is configured to print said digital image on said at least one printing substrate, maintaining the orientation of said printing medium unchanged relative to a second predefined reference.
