  • Controller and method for operating a printing device given the presence of a recording medium elevation
    Patent number: 11801675
    Abstract: A controller may detect an elevation of a recording medium that is to be printed to, the elevation may result in the printing element of a printing device being negatively affected. The controller may automatically produce a time-limited printing pause of the printing element in which the printing gap between the printing element and the recording medium is temporarily enlarged in order to direct the detected elevation past the printing element. A negative effect on the printing device given the presence of a damaged recording medium may thus be efficiently and reliably avoided or reduced.

    Publication number: 20060168077
    Abstract: In a method and device for control of a printer or copier, data are transferred over at least one data line between at least a first control unit and a second control unit. Respectively one identifier is associated with the first and second control unit. At least one value of a data object is stored in a storage region of the second control unit. A third identifier is associated with the data object, whereby the first, second and third identifiers are network addresses.

  • Control device and method for monitoring wear parts for printers and copiers
    Patent number: 6944408
    Abstract: A control device and a method for monitoring wear parts for printers and copiers is provided. The control device includes a counter device with which the replacement intervals or, respectively, the maintenance intervals for individual wear parts are monitored. The replacement and maintenance intervals can be individually set, so that they can be matched to the respective use conditions of the printer.
