Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for transverse registration of image exposures on photoreceptive belts subject to lateral deviation from linear travel in which targets, corresponding in location to the image areas to be exposed, are used for the detection of lateral belt displacement and to control the transverse location of exposure scan. The targets each comprise a group of three slots formed in the belt, each slot inclined by some angle .theta. with respect to the transverse process direction of belt travel so that the duration of time between passage of the slots with respect to a spatially fixed sensing axis will vary with lateral displacement of the belt.
