Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0813971A2] An electronic printing system comprises a substrate, controllably transported through the printing system past a plurality of print heads and print stations in sequence, to generate a printed image. The print heads are mounted on a swing arm mechanism to allow rotation from a print-ready position into a service position. The system is created from simplex print modules and is capable of multi-color and process color duplex printing without turnbars between print stations. The system is configured so that additional print stations can be added to the printing system without adding substantially to the length of the system. <IMAGE>
