2.3 Print Principle

Figure 3

After starting a print order the printhead moves against the print
medium. Afterwards the printing carriage moves corresponding to the
set or transferred layout length linear over the material which is to be
printed. After the print procedure the printhead again lifts up and the
printing carriage moves again to the starting position.
