Abstract
A control system for controlling the processing steps of an electrostatic printing machine including means for generating a series train of clock pulses, means for generating a series train of start or reset pulses and control logic responsive to the reset and clock pulses to generate a plurality of timed control signals for implementing certain of the processing steps. A transfer roller, the linear surface speed of which is synchronized with the moving speed of the photoreceptor, may be used to generate the reset pulses for the successive cycle of processing operation. The intervals between the successive reset pulses, called pitches, are in effect marked by the clock pulses, some of which are used to generate the timed control signals.
