phasing

phasing: In facsimile transmission and reception, the process by which the start of the scanning line or lines is made to correspond to one edge of the object being scanned. Note: If there is no correspondence between the object being scanned and the scanning line or lines, distortion, often in the form of a split image, will occur in the received image.
