Abstract
A method of operating an imaging system, the imaging system including a plurality of subsets of imaging elements, such as photosensors, light emitters, or ink-jet ejectors. The imaging elements use a regular clock signal for operation. A provisional clock signal, such as an analog sinusoidal signal, is generated. A subset of imaging elements is selected for operation at a particular time. The provisional clock signal is converted to a regular clock signal for use by the selected subset of imaging elements, incidental to an operational period of the selected subset of imaging elements.
