Abstract:
An electrographic printer device, comprising:at least one printing unit including: a toner image carrier on whose circumferential surface toner is applied according to an image-like distribution, the toner image carrier including a photoconductor whose outer circumferential surface is charged with a latent charge image; a transfer band onto which the toner present on the photoconductor is transferred at a first transfer printing location; a carrier material is conducted past the transfer band such that the toner arranged thereon can be transferred onto the carrier material at a second transfer printing location; a printing mechanism at a circumferential section of the photoconductor for generating a toner image and that prints at least one mark onto the photoconductor; at least one sensor at the transfer band that acquires a passing of the at least one mark; a controller connected to said at least one sensor to determine a transit time of the mark from a printing time by the printing mechanism up to an acquisition time by the at least one sensor, said controller influencing transport of the carrier material in controlling fashion dependent on the transit time.
