Abstract: A technique for marking pixels on workpieces by routing a scanned beam to different markings stations to mark individual pixels on selected ones of the workpieces. Angular position of a scanning mirror in a raster scanner is determined by moving a beam, reflected from the scanner, across rulings on an optical element during scanning. A print head for printing spots on a surface of a workpiece has a walled, internally pressurized chamber with an external curved surface and structure for causing an inked web to conform to the contour of the external curved surface and to be pulled along the external curved surface. Two workpieces may be marked at two marking stations by two-directional scanning.
