Abstract
A printing system includes a print media and one or more non-objectionable test patterns formed or printed on the print media. An integrated imaging system captures images of the one or more non-objectionable test patterns. The integrated imaging system includes a housing, an opening in the housing for receiving light reflected from a moving print media, a folded optical assembly in the housing that receives the reflected light and transmits the light a predetermined distance, and an image sensor within the housing that receives the light and captures one or more images of the one or more non-objectionable test patterns. A processing device can process the one or more images to determine if one or more size variations have occurred in the print media.
