Abstract:
A roll-fed printing apparatus for printing at least a first and a second image on a recording medium, a method for controlling such a printing apparatus and a software medium are disclosed. According to the method, each swath is printed by a print head that reciprocates in a scanning direction, the print head being controlled to apply marking material to the recording medium in accordance with a first set of image lines for each swath to be printed; the first set of image lines being provided to the print head from a swath buffer; wherein the first set of image lines are transmitted to the swath buffer out of a second set of image lines stored in a line buffer to be printed without interruption; wherein, when the line buffer comprises the final image lines of a first bitmap representing the first image while there are still empty data storage sections within the line buffer starting image lines of a second bitmap representing the second image are transferred to the empty data storage section of the line buffer.

Claim (Index 15):
The printing apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the printing apparatus is a UV curing printing apparatus comprising a UV curing lamp and wherein the printer controller is configured to control the UV curing lamp to start or continue curing of UV curable ink already applied to the recording medium when the print head is applying UV curable ink to the recording medium in accordance with the first set of image lines in the swath buffer, even when the first set of image lines in the swath buffer comprises both image lines from the first bitmap and the second bitmap and/or even when the first set of image lines consists of image lines only from the second bitmap.
