Abstract
A method and system are provided for calibrating a document assembly system. An operation is initiated of a document assembly line of the document assembly system. During the operation, an activation is sensed of an activation element along the document assembly line. In response to the activation, positional information is determined for relating the activation element to the document assembly line.

A method of calibrating a document assembly system, comprising the steps of:
- initiating an operation of multiple asynchronously operated sections of a document assembly line of the document assembly system;
- during said operation, sensing activations of multiple activation elements in different ones of said asynchronously operated sections along said document assembly line;
- and
- in response to said activations, determining positional information for relating said activation elements to said asynchronously operated sections of said document assembly line.
A method of calibrating a document assembly system, comprising the steps of:
- initiating assembly of at least one document along a first asynchronously operated section of a document assembly line of the document assembly system;
- during said assembly, sensing an activation of at least one activation element along a second asynchronously operated section of said document assembly line in response to assembly of said document along said second asynchronously operated section;
- and
- in response to said activation, determining positional information for relating said activation element to said document assembly line.
A system for calibrating a document assembly system, comprising:
- means for initiating an operation of multiple asynchronously operated sections of a document assembly line of the document assembly system;
- means for sensing, during said operation, activations of multiple activation elements in different ones of said asynchronously operated sections along said document assembly line;
- and
- means for determining, in response to said activations, positional information for relating said activation elements to said asynchronously operated sections of said document assembly line.
