Abstract: A method for detecting, in-situ, a cross-process linearity error in an image printing system that prints on an image bearing surface movable in the process direction is provided. The method includes placing marking material to form of a row of registration marks on the image bearing surface, detecting a position in a cross-process direction of each registration mark in the row using a linear array sensor that extends in the cross-process direction, and determining a correction function with a processor using the positions of the registration marks as detected by the linear array sensor to compensate for an error in the positions in the cross-process direction of the registration marks. The row of registration marks extends in a cross-process direction transverse to the process direction.

Abstract: A method and system of correcting a medium velocity error in a photoreceptor belt of an image forming device with a controller, including measuring a velocity error of the photoreceptor belt when the medium is used in the image forming device, the velocity error comprising a velocity error due to the image forming device dynamics and a velocity error due to torque disturbance on the photoreceptor belt, filtering high frequency velocity error from the measured velocity error, removing the velocity error due to the image forming device dynamics from the measured velocity error to produce a remaining velocity error, converting the remaining velocity error to torque disturbance, determining a correction factor on the basis of the torque disturbance, and correcting the medium velocity factor on the basis of the determined correction factor.
