Abstract: A multi-beam laser ROS print system is described which is adapted to minimize banding in output prints. Multiple beams from a laser source are separated by a distance which causes the beam to scan consecutive lines in a non-consecutive scan; e.g., according to a particular beam interlacing sequence. It has been found that as a general proposition, banding decreases with increasing interlacing orders and, furhter, that once a print system error frequency, or another frequency of interest has been identified, there are a number of interlacing orders, each an optimum value, which can be introduced to reduce banding which would ordinarily result from the particular frequency error.
