Controller for a printing unit comprising a standard hardware board (B) provided with a central processing unit (10), an I/O-unit (12) and a central bus system (14) connected to the central processing unit and the I/O-unit, the I/O-unit comprising a connector (16) for connecting the central bus system to a memory board (22) that comprises one or more memory chips (24) for storing bitmap data or compressed bitmap data of a page to be printed,wherein the memory board (22) has a second bus system (36) and a memory reader (26) connected to the memory chips (24) via the second bus system (36) for reading the data and transmitting them to a printer (28).
摘要:
Method for manufacturing pellets (34) of hot-melt ink, characterized by the steps of:
filling molten ink (18) into a mold cavity (16) defined between a first die (12) and a second die (14) of a mold (10), allowing the ink (18) to cool down and to solidify in the mold cavity (16), and heating at least one of the first and second dies (12, 14) for re-melting the surface of the ink pellet (34) to be removed from the mold cavity (16).
