Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are provided for predictively compensating for frequency-based shifts of the position of a web of print media in a continuous-forms printer. The system comprises a sensor and a controller. The sensor is able to detect lateral shifts of the web of print media traveling through the continuous-forms printer. The controller is able to identify a frequency of the lateral shifts of the web, and to steer the web based on the frequency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A system comprising: a sensor operable to detect lateral shifts of a web of print media traveling through a continuous-forms printer; and a controller operable to identify a frequency of the lateral shifts of the web, and to steer the web based on the frequency. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein: the controller is further operable to predict undetected shifts of the web based on the identified frequency, and to steer the web to predictively…
