Apparatus, method and system for feedforward of sheet electrostatic tacking parameters to image transfer subsystem in image transfer apparatus

A method for toner image transfer using an image transfer apparatus comprising a tacking assembly defining a bias nip and including a power supply, an image transfer assembly defining a transfer nip, and a media transport assembly for carrying media through said bias nip and through said transfer nip, the method comprising:

• transporting media to said bias nip;
• applying dynamic current to said media in accordance with a current set point;
• monitoring voltage of said power supply during said application of current in accordance with the current set point;
• determining a difference in the power supply voltage required to maintain a constant current;
• and
• feeding forward the determined difference to said image transfer assembly to facilitate an electrical field adjustment at the transfer nip such that optimal toner image transfer is accommodated from said image transfer assembly to said media.
