9. An apparatus for controlling an image generating head to compensate for process disturbances comprising:
a printer controller for generating signals to coordinate movement of components with a rotating image receiver in a printer and for generating data identifying a process disturbance arising from interaction of the rotating image receiver with the components and an expected time for the process disturbance;
a process disturbance compensator for generating a process disturbance compensation signal that corresponds to the process disturbance identification and timing data; and
an image generating head controller for adjusting an image generating head actuation signal with the process disturbance compensation signal.
