Functional description

The Drystar 5300 consists of two functional blocks: a controller and a print
engine.

The controller

•

captures the incoming digital data and stores the image on a CF-card,

•

composes the different images, and

•

generates the appropriate print engine control signals.

The print engine receives the image data from the controller, drives the film
through the device and produces black & white hardcopy prints.

The figure below illustrates how the film is transported through the printer.
