Abstract: A method of duplex printing forms on a media web. The method includes identifying leading edges of a first side of the forms being printed in a first print zone and identifying leading edges of a second side of the forms being printed in a second print zone. The leading edges in the first print zone being identified with reference to a form length variation parameter and a drift parameter and the leading edges in the second print zone being identified with reference to another form length variation parameter and another drift parameter based on identification of leading edges in the first print zone.

Abstract: According to aspects of the embodiments, there is provided methods and systems for configuring modules and sub-modules in a control area network (CAN) of a printer system using machine data and network protocols. The machine data includes a file that describes the board types and application types for possible modules and sub-modules of a printer system. The machine data facilitates the process of identifying modules and the process of differentiating sub-module boards from other modules. Customization of printer configurations is enhanced through plug-and-play support allowing for dynamic sub-module re-configuration for the disconnection and reconnection of boards that may form part of replaceable units. A configuration process allows non-configured boards to be placed, when the printer system is idle, properly into the network and to be associated with the proper module.
