METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSFERRING DATA BETWEEN AT LEAST TWO PROCESSING UNITS OF A PRINTING OR COPIER SYSTEM

摘要

In a method to transfer data between at least two processing units of a printing or copying system, processing information to be transferred between the at least two processing units is split up into first data and second data, the first data comprising at least form-related paper travel information for which a real-time processing is required, and the second data comprising processing information for which a real-time processing is not required. The at least two processing units are connected via a real-time-capable data transmission path for transferring the first data. The at least two processing units are also connected via a switched network connection that provides at least one physical layer to transfer data. The switched network connection is utilized to transfer the second data.
