Abstract
An apparatus and method for correcting top edge sheet misregistration using a sensor array. An array sensor is placed in the paper path prior to transfer. A signal is generated indicating the position of the sheet. As a function of the signal the print controller causes the image to be exposed and developed on the photoreceptor in alignment with the sheet position. The aligned image is then transferred to the sheet.
