Abstract (en)
A printer for a cigarette-manufacturing machine has a density sensor (70) disposed between a wrapping section (4) and a cutting section (16) of the machine, and the density sensor (70) detects the print density of printed information (PI) of a tobacco rod (TR). The information (PI) is printed on a paper web W by a printing unit (20) located upstream from the wrapping section (4). Disposed between the printing unit (20) and the wrapping section (4) is an adjusting device (62) for varying the length of a feeding path of the paper web W. A density signal from the density sensor (70) is used to control the operation of the printing unit (20) and adjusting device (62). Thus, based on the density signal, the print density of the printed information (PI) and the arrival timing thereof at the density sensor (70) are each controlled. <IMAGE>
