Abstract

A method and a device for controlling a drive unit which conveys a striplike laterally pre-printed recording medium, whereby a sensor is sensitized with respect to a regularly re-occurring mark of the recording medium. The recording medium is continuously scanned by the sensor during the printing operation and the speed at which the recording medium is conveyed is adjusted according to scanned signals from the sensor.
