Abstract:
A flexible belt is disclosed for use in a printing system. The belt comprises an endless strip which, in use, travels along a continuous path. Formations are provided along the sides of the strip which are capable of engaging with lateral tracks to place the belt under lateral tension, the lateral tracks further serving to constrain the belt to follow the continuous path.

Claim (Index 48):
The belt system of  claim 1  wherein: (i) the belt passes over drive and guide rollers and is guided through at least the image forming station by guide channels that receive formations provided on both lateral edges of the belt, and (ii) the underside of the belt includes a material with high frictional properties such that a frictional force between the underside of the belt and each respective guide roller is effective to maintain the belt locally taut.
