Abstract
An image forming device includes at least two image cylinders that rotate with a time varying velocity; at least two image cylinder gears respectively attached to each image cylinder; and at least one pinion gear that drives the at least two image cylinder gears. The time varying velocity of the image cylinder gear is due to a runout of the pinion gear. The spacing between the centers of the image cylinders is determined by where Sis the distance between the centers of the two image cylinders gears; k is an integer; α is the angle between the pitch point of the two gears; and Dis the diameter of the pinion gear.
