Abstract:
1. A system to check the loading of a printing forme magazine with a plurality of separate printing formes comprising: a plurality of printing forme storage positions in the printing forme magazine; at least two separate ones of the plurality of printing formes stored in two separate ones of the plurality of printing forme storage positions in the printing forme magazine; at least one separate code on each of the at least two separate printing formes; at least one code reader having an image sensor, the at least one code reader being usable to detect the codes of the at least two separate printing formes stored in the printing forme magazine; a detection zone of the code reader, the detection zone of the code reader being usable to detect the at least one respective code of each of the at least two of the separate printing formes that are arranged adjacent to one another, at least one of horizontally and vertically, in the separate ones of the plurality of printing forme storage positions in the printing forme magazine, the detection zone of the code reader detecting the respective codes of the at least two adjacent, separate printing formes in the printing forme storage positions both together and simultaneously; and an image plane of said image sensor, said image plane imaging the codes detected by the detection zone of the code reader simultaneously, the image plane being subdivided into a plurality of selectively activatable inspection zones and wherein each of these selectively activatable inspection zones images precisely one of the codes detected by the detection zone.
