Process and apparatus for troubleshooting by overloaded lighting for optical printers and the like with photosensitive recording medium with high range and high addressing capability

摘要

A method and apparatus is described for eliminating banding, misregistration and bowing by controlling a composite light intensity profile and phase shifting of a spatial location at which the composite light intensity profile crosses a xerographic threshold in a two dimensional high addressability printer operating in an overscan mode. The contrast, pitch grating and phase shifting are dependent on at least one of a predetermined amount of overlap, an exposure profile and an intensity value of each of the plurality of laser beam spots formed on the photosensitive medium of a two dimensional high addressability printer.
