Abstract

A method for a printer comprising a transport device comprising an endless transport belt supported on a pair of support rollers, which between them define a medium support plane, over which medium support plane a print station is provided. The method comprises the steps of determining a plurality of different positions in the plurality of parallel lanes for the individual print media, the plurality of positions spread in a direction perpendicular to a scanning direction of the print station, transporting in parallel but not necessarily simultaneously a plurality of individual print media perpendicular to a scanning direction of the print station in a plurality of parallel lanes towards the medium support plane, and based on the determined plurality of different positions, independently activating a signalling object in each lane when a leading edge of a fed individual print medium reaches each of the different positions in the lane. Each determined position in a lane has a different distance to a start position for a start of an automatic transport of the print medium to the medium support plane for ejecting marking material on the print medium by the print station, and each determined position in the lane corresponds to a different signal given by the signalling object in the lane when activated.
