1.3. Informations on Status Out and SPS-Control (GPIO)
The MICROPLEX Status Out function provides the possibility to get
information on the printer status (paper jam, offline, ...) and on the print
job process (idle, busy, page printed,...).
With the optional SPS - Control (GPIO Board) Microplex printers
are able to synchronize their internal print data processing to external
signals: they can wait until other machines are ready and they are able
to control postprocessing machines, too.
For every print job a real handshake between printer and post
processing can be realized.
1.4. Fundamentals of Thermal Printing
The thermal print technology enables a quiet and fast print process with a
high resolution output. The printhead produces the image by heating
single elements (dots). So you need a special ribbon (thermal transfer
printing) or a special kind of paper (thermal direct printing).
While thermal transfer printing the dots touch the thermal ribbon so that
the heating of particular dots leads to a partial melting of the ribbon. Due
to the contact with a media (future carrier of the information, for example
paper) this leads to a transfer of the image onto the media.
While thermal direct printing the dots touch the thermal paper directly.
The dyes and developers within the paper respond to the heat of
particular dots, change their color to black and so the wanted image
emerges.
The printers of the logiJET T4-2 /T6-2 series can be used for both
methods of printing.
