<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce errors of image-on-paper (IOP) registration in a system having a plurality of image formation stations. <P>SOLUTION: A cursor for registration is arranged on a belt and detected by MOB sensors 20A and 20B. As for, for example, an in-board (IB) side IB cursor, a deviation LIBoffset (140) from the position after IOP registration to the target arrangement is found from a lateral error LIBE (124) between a position 34A after IOP registration and an actual position 34C, a residual error CLIBR (145) between target arrangement and the actual position 34C, an offset CLIBoffset (150) from the MOB sensor 20A, etc., and rearrangement is carried out based upon them. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
