Abstract:
A method is provided for configuring a drying device in a printing machine, in particular in a value document printing machine. The printing machine has at least one printing unit which comprises an imaging cylinder having a plurality of imaging printing elements or groups of imaging printing elements which are arranged in rows and columns on its circumference. A drying device has a dryer, by which print material, passing through the dryer, is subject to radiation. The drying device is configured for ongoing or upcoming production in such a way that the print material passing through the dryer, in order to be dried, is subjected to radiation in a plurality of tracks spaced from each other by non-irradiated tracks according to the same switch-on and switch-off sequence extending over cycle length. The configuration takes place with regard to one of a lateral position and a width of the tracks to be subject to two radiation by the dryer using product-related data or information regarding one of the number and the size and the position of value items to be printed next to each other on the print material portion and one of using data which comes from a device for image capture and an evaluation comprised by the printing machine or provided in parallel to such a device.

Claim (Index 37):
A security printing press having at least one printing unit ( 19 ;  23 ;  19 \u2032;  23 \u2032) for printing onto the printing substrate in a screen printing process or in a letterpress process, which printing unit comprises an image-producing cylinder ( 18 ;  22 ;  18 \u2032;  22 \u2032) having a multiplicity of image-producing printing elements ( 25 ;  25 \u2032) or groups of image-producing printing elements ( 25 ;  25 \u2032) arranged in rows and columns on the cylinder periphery, which are formed by ink permeable regions on the image-producing cylinder for the screen printing process and are formed by letterpress subjects ( 25 \u2032) for the letterpress process, and at the print position ( 06 ;  06 \u2032;  07 ;  07 \u2032) of which sections of a printing substrate ( 02 ) passing through the print position ( 06 ;  07 ) can be imprinted, in a cycle (Z) that has a fixed cycle length (LZ) based upon the forward feed of printing substrate at the print position ( 06 ;  06 \u2032;  07 ;  07 \u2032), with one print image ( 44 ) of one print image length (L 44 ) per section, having image elements ( 56 ) or groups of image elements ( 56 ) arranged side by side and one behind the other in a grid of multiple copies ( 57 ), said printing unit also having a dryer device with a dryer ( 14 ;  16 ;  36 ), located downstream of the print position ( 06 ;  06 \u2032;  07 ;  07 \u2032) in the printing substrate path and comprising an integral or multipart drying means ( 38 ), by means of which printing substrate ( 02 ) passing through the dryer ( 14 ;  16 ;  36 ) can be irradiated for the purpose of drying said substrate along at least one track (t 1 ; ti) extending in the transport direction of the printing substrate ( 02 ), characterized in that a control system ( 37 ) for controlling the operation of the dryer ( 14 ;  16 ;  36 ) is operatively connected for signal communication to control elements ( 71 ;  72 ;  73 ;  74 ;  76 ;  77 ;  78 ) of a user interface ( 55 ) and/or to a device ( 89 ) for image detection and/or analysis, from which the dryer ( 14 ;  16 ;  36 ) can be configured with respect to the lateral position and number of drying elements ( 38 k ) operated by the control system ( 37 ) according to the same on/off switching sequence.
