Abstract:
1. A printing system to project an image on a reimageable surface layer on a rotating imaging member, the system having at least one imaging module each placed at individual zones adjacent to each other across from the imaging member to form a scanline of the image, each imaging module comprising: an energizable laser source for generating a laser beam when energized; a look ahead buffer for storing scanline data of the image to be projected on the imaging member, wherein the look ahead buffer has top scanline data and bottom scanline data; an optical assembly positioned to direct the laser beam at the individual zones to project the top scanline data in the look ahead buffer on the imaging member; and a logic circuit to selectively power the energizable laser source based on the scanline data in the look ahead buffer by:
