Abstract

A printer employing a scanning electrostatic print head includes a sensor to determine dimensional variations in a printable dielectric material, such as paper, on which a latent electrostatic image is disposed. A charge deposition delay circuit is in electrical communication with the scanning print head which allows properly positioning the electrostatic image on the dielectric material to compensate for the dimensional variations.
