ARRANGEMENT FOR DRIVING A PLURALITY OF NON-MECHANICAL PRINTER DEVICES IN TANDEM OPERATION

摘要

A drive arrangement for driving a plurality of nonmechanical printing devices working in tandem operation includes an independently functioning control arrangement for each printing device coupled to an external data source, the control arrangement being organized in a data control level and in a device control level. Coupling of the printing devices through coordination control units ensues on the device control level for synchronization so that a web-shaped recording medium is printed first in a first device and then supplied to further, following printing devices.
