MANAGING A CONTROL VARIABLE FOR A PRINTING SYSTEM BY MEANS OF A DATABASE

摘要

The invention relates to a control system with an operating unit (156) for an electrophotographic printing or copying system. An input and/or output of operational information for the printing or copying system is achieved by means of the operating unit. A first controller (130) and at least one second controller (140) control at least a part of the electrophotographic printing or copying system. The controllers (130, 140) are interconnected by means of a dataline, along which control data may be transmitted between the controllers (130, 140). At least a part of the transmitted control data is inputted and/or outputted by the operating unit (156), in addition to the operational information. The invention further relates to a method for the input and/or output of operational information and control data for an electrophotographic printing copying system by means of an operating unit (156), a system and a method for managing and transmission of control data for an electrophotographic printing or copying system and an electrophotographic printing or copying system with at least two printer units and method for input and/or output of operation information.
