Patent ID: 8322806

Claim:
A controller for a coding and marking printing system having a central processing unit and a controller for driving a plurality of print heads for printing, a. the central processing unit for providing a plurality of instructions for defining a plurality of instructions for the control system to individually control the release of the ink of each print head nozzle according to an image and a determined dot formation representation of the image; b. the controller including a plurality of modules with each module having a print drive interface connectable to the print heads and a control system including an encoder and a printer logic core having core printer functions, and which through a jet drive interface communicate with a jet bank interface to drive the print heads wherein the printer logic core can control the initiation of the release and the time of the release of the ink of each print head nozzle, wherein the printer logic core receives a rendered image and is connected to the print drive interface for controlling the print heads such that the control system initially receives the plurality of instructions of the rendered image from the central processing unit and individually controls each print head according to the inputted rendered image and a determined dot formation representation of the rendered image by logic and core printer functions without further recourse to the central processing unit.
