Abstract
A method for printing on a continuous print medium having a plurality of pages includes identifying a location of a feature in image data that are generated from a portion of a first page in the print medium. The method includes modifying a time of operation of a marking unit to form an image on each page in the plurality of pages at a predetermined distance from the edge of each page with reference to the location of the identified feature in the image data. In one configuration, the method enables precise placement of printed images over preprinted forms.
