Abstract

A system for registration of a photoconductor belt in a multi-color electrophotographic imaging system, which operates to detect a position of the photoconductor belt uses a photodetection system disposed adjacent a plurality of scribed lines in the photoconductor belt. The registration system also includes a belt steering system that steers the photoconductor belt based on the detected position to reduce deviation of the belt from a transport path.
