Abstract: A printer comprising a controller to control printing operations, a 1st user interface and at least one second user interface, connection to connect the 2nd user interface with the controller and wireless connection for exchanging data between the 2nd user interface and the controller when the second user interface is not connected with the printer, the controller being programmed to: detect whether the 2nd user interface is connected or not with the printer; display a different information on at least the first user interface depending on whether the 2nd user interface is connected or not.

Abstract: A method for enabling marking of a pattern on a substrate with an industrial printer includes executing a genetic algorithm based on the pattern to be marked on the substrate. A result of the genetic algorithm indicates a resulting path which the industrial printer should follow when marking the pattern on the substrate. It is determined if the resulting path fulfills at least one criterion of: the resulting path matches an optimal path for marking the pattern, the resulting path substantially matches the optimal path, or a time spent for executing the genetic algorithm has reached or exceeded a threshold.

Abstract: Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards the implementation of a FPGA where a printing core may be dynamically reconfigured with respect to a currently used printing type. Example embodiments are also directed towards print handling, direct memory access printing, and the use of an internal FPGA timer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for controlling a print output from a print device on an information carrier. The arrangement comprises a processing unit and a memory unit, and the method comprises: generating a print job data with respect to a type of print device, the information carrier and data in the memory unit, analyzing the generated print job data for approval with respect to a number of predetermined parameters.

Abstract: A method and printing controller for industrial printing with the use of a plurality of print-heads for a single printing assignment are described. Printing instructions for a single printing assignment are obtained. Different portions of the single printing assignment, and associated portions of the printing instructions, are assigned among respective print-heads of a plurality of print-heads.
