Patent number: 7787810Abstract: A color registration method, system, and computer program product generally includes a plurality of imaging stations and one or more MOB (Marks-On Belt) sensors. An indication is initially provided to each imaging station among the imaging stations, which colors among a plurality of colors associated with said color registration system are active. Next, an arbitrary imaging station among the imaging stations can be assigned as a reference color. Thereafter, the arbitrary imaging station can be instructed to write an appropriate color pattern to replace marks associated with any imaging among imaging stations not enabled with the marks with respect to said reference color in order to thereby produce a resulting color ensemble that is detectable by one or more MOB sensors.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2007Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: David M. Kerxhalli, Thomas M. Baretsky

Patent number: 7630672Abstract: A system and method for determining a color separation registration error in a multi-color printing system are provided. The system and method provide for instructing first and second color separations to mark a substrate with first and second fine-periodic-patch images to determine color separation registration error(s). The system and method further provide for determining whether at least an about half-period color separation registration error exists between the first and second color separations.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2007Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Thomas M. Baretsky, Anne K. Fitzpatrick, David Kerxhalli, Wayne Morganti, Mark S. Petrush, Mark Alan Scheuer, Rod Stair, James W. Stevens

Patent number: 7298998Abstract: A system and method to control imaging devices in a single-pass multi-color electrophotographic printing machine that includes a photoconductive member having a timing aperture, the photoconductive member moving along a path in the printing machine, and a plurality of imaging devices, each one of the plurality of imaging devices writing a latent image on the photoconductive member. The system further includes a sensor, located adjacent the photoconductive member, to sense the aperture in the photoconductive member as it passes the sensor and generate a signal indicative thereof and a control device and method that provides a timing signal for each of the plurality of imaging devices based on the signal generated by the sensor and a clock signal that is synchronous for all of the imaging devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2006Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Ana P. Tooker, David M. Kerxhalli, Thomas M. Baretsky

Patent number: 6940536Abstract: A system architecture for scanned non-linearity correction in a printer uses any raster output scanner having scanned non-linearity profile previously stored in memory from a test station installed with any pixel board. The pixel board includes a correction table register wherein the pixel board utilizes the scanned non-linearity profile of the raster output scanner to calculate the correction table register to correct for pixel misregistration.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2002Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Russell B.

Patent number: 5809382Abstract: A method for and apparatus for creating partial gamut color images in a single pass. A plurality of latent discharged area images are formed using a single exposure. A first discharged area image is developed followed by recharging of the photoreceptor containing the images. The images are then subjected to a partial erase step followed by the development of a second discharged area image. All images formed subsequent to the first discharged image except for the last image are preceded by recharging and partial erase to thereby optimize development and cleaning fields.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1996Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Peter J. McGuire, Thomas M. Baretsky
