Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, in particular a printer or Copier, with two essentially similar electrographic printing units, each with an image pattern print on sheet material, with a Input section over which the sheet material is separated can be fed in succession, and with an output section, over which the printed sheet-shaped material individually is output one after the other.
  • Such electrophotographic printers are for example from DE 34 16 252 A1, EP 0 104 022 A2, DE-PS 1,280,605, DE 34 07 847 A1 or WO 91/13386.
  • high printing performance can also be achieved
  • Duplex operation can be achieved as long as both printing units work properly.
  • a disadvantage of those in the described publications is devices however, that in the event of a failure of one of the Printing units a drastic reduction in the performance of the Conditional duplex operation. A sheet that is in duplex mode to be printed on both sides must then namely be accelerated several times in the opposite direction printed on both sides by the one remaining printing unit to be able to.
  • Another printing device is known from US Pat. No. 5,208,640 known, which contains several printing units.
  • the printing units are connected to each other via a ring system, one common turning device with a switch for everyone Printing units is used. If the turning device fails, for example because of a switching error in the switch, so duplex operation is no longer possible.
  • the object of the invention is a device, in particular a device Specify printer or copier that has high printing performance or copying performance, especially in duplex mode Has.
  • two are essentially similarly designed printing units are used.
  • the components for these printing units e.g. the electronic control, the Developer units, the toner supply and discharge devices etc., can be kept almost unchanged.
  • Each Printing unit on its own therefore has a very high level of operational reliability.
  • Both printing units use a common one Input section through which the sheet material is fed becomes.
  • Both printing units also use one together Output section for discharging the printed sheet Materials. This makes the new device very compact and can be produced with little effort. Because of the printing capacity of the two printing units is significantly increased.
  • one of one of the printed material, sheet-shaped material same printing unit can be fed again in the same direction like in the first printing process.
  • first transfer printing transport path for the first printing unit and a separate one second transfer printing transport route provided for the second printing unit.
  • the transfer printing for both printing units takes place with the same Speed. Because each printing unit has its own transfer printing path can, if a printing unit fails sheet material further printed with the other printing unit become.
  • the input section a switch that contains sheet-like material either the first transfer printing route or the second Transfer printing transport route feeds.
  • the simplex printing mode is implemented with one color, i.e. supplied sheet material, e.g. Cut sheets Paper is from the first printing unit or from the second printing unit printed on one side.
  • the Soft sheet material alternating the first transfer printing route and the second transfer printing transport path. Because every The sheet-like printing unit with the same transfer printing speed Material printed and two printing units arranged in parallel are, the overall printing performance doubles Device. Single sheets with double Printing speed fed and removed again.
  • Another exemplary embodiment provides that the first transfer printing transport route and through the second transfer printing path a connecting channel are connected, through which leaf-shaped Material in one or both transport directions is eligible. These measures can cause printed material from the first printing unit to the second printing unit and from the second Printing unit to be fed to the first printing unit to it print. A return is therefore through the connecting channel created which the two printing units together connects, which enables diverse printing processes.
  • leaf-shaped Material during transport from the first transfer printing path to second transfer printing transport path is turned.
  • each printing unit the front and also the back printing on a single sheet.
  • Developer stations with different colors used so there can be two on each side of the single sheet Image patterns can be printed with two different colors, i.e. it can do a so-called two-color duplex operation, too Called duplex color spot operation.
  • a printer system specified, in which two similar, previously described Devices are connected by a transfer device, which is the sheet material printed by the first device to the second, similar device. If any of these contains two different colored printing units, so can Single sheets printed on both sides with four colors become.
