  • Method and apparatus for registering and maintaining registration of a medium in a content applicator
    Patent number: 8556370
    Abstract: A content applicator receives a continuous medium and applies content to segments of the continuous medium. The content applicator includes a sensor array, a controller subsystem, and a print station. The sensor array scans the continuous medium as the continuous medium moves along a medium transport pathway. The controller subsystem receives scan information from the sensor array and uses the scan information to establish and maintain registration between the continuous medium and the print station.
