Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3412609A1] The invention provides an image forming device (100) for forming images on individual sheets (1) of a medium and a method for operating such a device. The device comprises: a medium transport system (10) configured to transport the individual sheets (1) of the medium along a pathway (12) within the image forming device (100), the pathway (12) including a measurement section (14) that comprises at least one bend (16) in the pathway (12); a sensor system (20) configured to determine a passage time that each individual sheet (1) of the medium transported along the pathway (12) takes in passing through the measurement section (14); and a controlling unit (30) configured to control a processing, by the image forming device (100), of each individual sheet (1) of the medium based on the passage time measured for that individual sheet (1) of the medium.
