Abstract
A method and apparatus for positioning paper in a feed path by providing continuous feedback of copy sheet registration parameters is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a system which compares measured sheet registration information with an ideal value stored in a microprocessor. These measured registration parameters are averaged and pertinent information is fed back to the control system of the copy sheet registration device. The information that has been fed back is then used to adjust the orientation of subsequent copy sheets, thereby allowing for ideal placement of the copy sheet onto the photoreceptor for successful transfer of a developed image.
