Abstract

Druckeinrichtung und Verfahren für den Druck auf einen Druckträger mit einem Druckkopf und mit einer ein Transportmittel (7) umfassenden Transporteinrichtung (1) für den Druckträger (3), wobei der Druckkopf (4) während des Druckens nicht bewegt wird. Eine Steuerung (40) ist mit Sensoren und Aktoren eines Verschiebemittels (8) und des Transportmittels (7) verbunden. Das Transportmittel (7) und das Verschiebemittel (8) in der Druckeinrichtung sind mit einer verschiebbaren Transporteinrichtung (1) mechanisch gekoppelt für die mindestens eine alternative Druckposition (II) von einer Steuerung (40) steuerbar ist, wobei in der alternativen Druckposition (II) das Transportmittel (7) den Druckträger (3) beim Drucken stromabwärts transportiert. Es ist vorgesehen, daß der Druckträger (3) mindestens stromabwärts in X-Richtung transportiert und daß orthogonal dazu in Y-Richtung die verschiebbare Transporteinrichtung (1) in eine erste Druckposition (I), bezogen auf die Y-Koordninate eines karthesischen Koordinatensystems, zurückgestellt wird, wenn alle Druckaufgaben abgearbeitet worden sind.

Figure 00000002
Printing device and method for printing on a print carrier with a print head and with a transport device (1) comprising a transport means (7) for the print carrier (3), the print head (4) not being moved during printing. A controller (40) is connected to sensors and actuators of a displacement means (8) and the transport means (7). The transport means (7) and the displacement means (8) in the printing device are mechanically coupled to a displaceable transport device (1) for which the at least one alternative printing position (II) can be controlled by a controller (40), in the alternative printing position (II) the transport means (7) transports the print carrier (3) downstream when printing. It is provided that the print carrier (3) transports at least downstream in the X direction and that, in the Y direction, orthogonally, the displaceable transport device (1) is reset to a first printing position (I), based on the Y coordinate of a Cartesian coordinate system when all printing tasks have been completed.
