In a laser printer which uses a scanning mirror 12 with torsional hinges 36A, 36B driven by electrical coils 30A, 30B to provide resonant pivoting, at least one sensor 84, 88 is located proximate each end of a resonant sweep or scan. Pulses or signals from the sensor indicating the passing of a sweeping or scanning light beam are connected to computational circuitry 92 in a feedback loop. This information is used to determine the center of the beam sweep. The center of the beam sweep is then aligned with the center of the photosensitive medium, such as a rotating drum 44, by adjusting the DC current provided to the drive coils.
