Abstract

An apparatus and associated method for controlling the operating speed of a photoreceptor within an electrostatographic printing machine having a belt type photoreceptive member for recording a plurality of latent images thereon. The process provides automatic reconfiguration of the electrostatographic printing machine control system to determine appropriate pitch timing values in response to a measurement of the actual belt speed as measured by the elapsed time for a single rotation of the photoreceptor belt.
