Abstract

A drive arrangement for driving a plurality of non-mechanical printing devices working in tandem operation includes an independently functioning control arrangement for each printing device coupled to an external data source, the control arrangement being organized in a data control level and in a device control level. Coupling of the printing devices through coordination control units ensues on the device control level for synchronization so that a web-shaped recording medium is printed first in a first device and then supplied to further, following printing devices.
