Abstract

A laser printing system for multi-color and verso printing is formed of a plurality of units arranged in series which are simultaneously operated. A recording medium emerging from a paper exit region of a preceding unit is supplied to a paper entry region of the following unit. A switchable deflection means for the paper web is disposed in at least one of or between the units. The individual units can thus be constructed of individual fixing modules and printer modules which can be combined with one another. At least one fixing module follows a plurality of printer modules.
