Functional description
The printer consists of two functional blocks: a controller and a print engine.
The controller
• captures the incoming digital data and stores the image,
• composes the different images, and
• generates the appropriate print engine control signals.
The print engine receives the image data from the controller, drives the film
through the device and produces black & white hardcopy prints.
The figure below illustrates how the film is transported through the printer.
