14. A method for marking on a surface using a hand-held printer, comprising:
-
determining a position of a target on which an image is to be printed;
adjusting for a deviation of the position of the target from an expected location;
providing data to the hand-held printer quantifying the deviation;
sensing a position of the hand-held printer relative to a surface of the target; and
activating the hand-held printer to generate markings on the surface of the target, based on the sensed position of the hand-held printer and the quantified deviation data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
