Abstract
A method for locating a cutter in a web fed photo imaging system including the steps of measuring an actual fiducial distance between consecutive fiducials, comparing a measured actual fiducial distance between consecutive fiducials to an imaging engine feed distance, calculating a feed distance scaling factor equal to a difference between an average actual fiducial distance and the imaging engine feed distance divided by a total number of discrete incremental moves between fiducials and adjusting the imaging engine feed distance in an amount equal to the scaling factor.
