Abstract

Method for register adjustment in which register correction resulting from a change in printed page input values (4, 4', 4) takes into account the feedback effects of the input values of the preceding printed page. Typical input values are paper thickness, toner requirement, etc. The invention also relates to a device for register adjustment.
