Printing apparatus (S') comprising printing means (3) having printing means motor (M'1, M'2) cutting means (7') having a cutting means motor (M'1, M'2), a means for controlling the printing means motor and the cutting means motor (M'), wherein the control means comprises electronic software and/or firmware, and does not include hardware common to the motors, such as a common shaft drive as in the prior art. The apparatus (S') also comprises a folding means (7') having a folding means motor (M') also controlled by the control means. This arrangement provides a particularly advantageous effect, whereby the motors (M') are independently driven, but commonly controlled. |
