Abstract
In an electrophotographic printer first and second printheads are provided for recording, in accordance with electronic data the same image frame. To reduce the cost for mechanical supports needed to accurately register pixels recorded by the respective printheads, a test is run to determine the misregistration between the printheads and the data to be printed. In response to these tests, the timing and/or cross-track position of the printing of the pixels on the recording member is adjusted to register the pixels printed by one printhead with those printed by the other.
