  • Patent number: 5493322
    Abstract: An electrophotographic printer uses plural recording elements such as LEDs for grey level recording. Redundant memory tables are provided that store redundant, but different, correction factors for correcting for nonuniformities of the LEDs at different grey levels. A nonlinear exposure clocking system is also provided for generating clock pulses at non-uniform intervals for use in controlling exposure durations for recording pixels. The clocking system includes a memory for storing binary signals that may be clocked out of a register and used as exposure clock pulses. The clock memory also includes redundant, but different, sets of possible clock pulses. As each new line of data is recorded, a signal is used to select one of the redundant sets of correction factors and a corresponding one of the redundant sets of exposure clock pulses.
