Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0997303A2] Arrangement comprises printer (2) through which foil (1) is continuously fed, even when no print process occurs. Foil is divided into sections of defined length after printing. Transport mechanism moves foil by defined length (L) per printing. Printer is activated, when foil length is defined multiple of defined length. Arrangement has transport element (9,10) which outputs print process activation signal when the foil (1) has traversed the defined length (L). Rotary transducers (4,5) at the input and output of a foil buffer (6,11) detect the length of each foil movement. The difference between the detected lengths is used to correct the print process activation.
