Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An imaging system is equipped with two or more exposure heads that are each able to image either a separate media sheet or a portion of a single media sheet loaded on a media carrier. The imaging time for any combination of media sheets is optimised by providing for the adjustment of the spacing between the dual exposure heads whenever the media configuration changes.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 25, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 25, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 25, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
