Definitions
- the invention relates to a printing system and in particular to a method, a control device and a computer program product for monitoring printed data in a printing system.
- the invention further relates in particular to a method for monitoring printed data in a high-performance electrographic printing system.
- both perforated, ribbon-shaped paper and paper without perforations are used as recording media.
- the page numbers of the printed document can also be used, which means that there is no need to print another control mark in the form of the bar code.
- a disadvantage of the previously known method is that the bar codes used here are very large and significantly impair the printed image of a printed page.
- tandem printing systems it is generally necessary to position the print images of the two printing devices of the tandem printing system precisely on the page.
- a tandem printing system is described in US-A-4,609,279.
- US-A-4, 774, 524 it is provided to control such a printing system to connect the main control devices of the two printers on the one hand via a host computer on a data control level and on the other hand via a second connection on a device control level.
- US-Bl- ⁇ , 501, 929 it is known to synchronize the printed page sequence in a tandem printing system via an electronic memory.
- a duplex printing system is known from ÜS-A-5, 488, 458, in which a control code is generated and printed for a page to be printed and the printed control code is evaluated.
- US Pat. No. 6,246,856 discloses a printing device with two printing units for simultaneous printing on the front and back of a web-shaped recording medium. From the US Bl. The above publications are hereby incorporated by reference into the present description.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for monitoring printed data in a printing system create that is suitable for the use of smaller codes compared to conventional bar codes, and with which the page-by-page synchronization of a large print job can still be safely monitored. Furthermore, the invention has for its object to provide a printing system for performing the method.
- a method for monitoring printed data in a printing system has the following steps:
- control numbers are used as control codes that are not contained in a control list in numerical succession.
- these can be compared in particular with the sequence of the control numbers in the control list, a deviation being assessed as an error.
- control numbers are printed on a sheet, it is also possible to carry out the evaluation by comparing the control numbers of the sheet, a deviation being assessed as an error.
- control numbers in the control list deviates from a numerically ascending or numerically descending order
- a very small number of numbers can be used as the number of control numbers, such as a number set consisting of a maximum of 64 numbers, and in particular a number set consisting of a maximum of 16 Numbers, down to a set of numbers consisting of only eight, four or even just two numbers, and yet it is possible to monitor a large number of pages.
- This is possible because, in contrast to conventional methods, in which each individual control number has a high information capacity, the information from the
- Control numbers is transferred to the control list, in which this information is stored by the sequence of the individual control numbers.
- a decimal number range from 0 to 99, for example, is printed as a binary number in the form of a bar or bar code as a control number or control mark. These binary numbers have seven digits and therefore form a long bar or bar code.
- the invention allows the use of one, two or three digit numbers.
- a single-digit binary number is used as the control number, i.e. each control number is either "0" or "1".
- the number of control numbers can thus even be limited to two numbers.
- a set of numbers can be used which comprises no more than 32, in particular no more than 16, or no more than 8 numbers.
- the invention also differs from known methods in that the control list contains more control numbers than the number of control numbers. Individual control numbers are therefore repeatedly included in the control list.
- the control list can either be provided as a stored data list or by means of a method (algorithm) for generating a successive sequence of control numbers. These methods are implemented using typically pseudo-random number generators.
- the period with which the control numbers are repeated in the control list is preferably greater than the typical printing volume that is carried out on the printing system or greater than the maximum number of pages that can turn out in the case of a printing problem without being noticed in any other way. If the typical print jobs only span a few to a hundred pages, a repeat period of 100 control numbers is sufficient. If the print jobs are considerably more extensive, it is advisable to provide correspondingly longer repetition periods. However, if a few thousand pages are not printed during a large print job, this is also noticeable elsewhere without the monitoring system being necessary. Therefore, the repetition periods do not have to include more than a thousand or a few thousand control numbers. Within the scope of the invention it is of course also possible to use longer repetition periods. In particular, if the checklists are generated using pseudo-random number generators, the repetition period can be increased significantly.
- a method for monitoring printed data in a printing system comprises the following steps: Generating a control code for a respective print image to be printed,
- control numbers are used as control codes that are contained in a control list in a non-numerically ascending or descending sequence, and when evaluating the read control numbers, the control numbers of each sheet are compared with each other, and if there is a deviation, this is an error is judged.
- a complete sequence of n read control numbers is determined after detection of an error by means of the monitoring method according to the invention and on the basis of this sequence it is determined at which number of pages of the print job the error occurred.
- the page number can be determined using a decoding table in which all sequences of n control numbers and the corresponding page numbers are stored.
- page also includes the terms “printed image” and “printed page”.
- a sheet in the sense of the present invention can be referred to when a cut sheet recording carrier is used, but under a sheet it can also be understood a track section if a continuous or web-shaped recording medium (English: fanfold, continous or web-shaped recording carrier) is used, which is initially printed in the web-shaped state and cut into a single sheet in a subsequent processing operation. In the latter procedure, an assignment to the sheet ultimately produced can already take place during printing if the corresponding postprocessing processes are clearly defined.
- the invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring the exact page assignment of print data on the printed matter, the so-called
- a web-shaped recording medium can in particular be cut to the sheet shape in a later processing step along the area boundaries.
- a method for monitoring the area-by-area data integrity when transmitting print data from a data source to a data receiver in which the print data is transmitted Continuously according to an N-digit binary number can be numbered, where N is a natural number.
- N is a natural number.
- a one-digit control code is read from a check list and transmitted with the print data of the area.
- a specific sequence of N single-digit control codes is contained only once in the checklist.
- the associated single-digit control code is read in each area and a decision about the data integrity is made automatically by comparing the read sequence of single-digit control codes with the code sequences available in the control list.
- the data integrity during the area-wise transmission or printing of print data can be checked with a simple, minimal single-digit binary control code.
- the binary control code is not a nuisance when transferring the data because it contains so little information.
- it enables a minimal print image in the form of a simple line, particularly when printed, which also particularly applies to the
- Range limit e.g. Page boundary of a document can be printed.
- the printed bar code can be used in addition to data integrity checking as a control mark for processes downstream of the printing process, such as cutting, folding or punching the recording medium.
- an N-digit reading binary number assigned to an area is formed on the basis of N consecutive single-digit control codes and the consecutive numbering is reconstructed and checked with it; This can be done by determining their position in the control list and comparing the number assigned to this position with the consecutive number of the area generated when sending.
- the N- Lesebinäriere digit is assigned to a region whose read control code is included in the N-digit Lesebinäriere and in particular the area whose code is read control digit at the first or last digit of the N • Lesebinäriere. Based on the comparison result, it can then be automatically decided whether data has been lost in some areas during the data transmission.
- a computer or a controller installed in particular in a printer can be used as the data source.
- a data receiver a controller, a printing unit, each on an area of the
- the single-digit binary control code is printed on the drawing medium as a bit mark and / or in particular a recording medium is also used as the medium for the printed information, including the control code. Furthermore, the printed bit marks can be read with a sensor and the reading result compared with the control code assigned during transmission, and the printing process can thus be controlled. With the invention it is thus possible to carry out continuous integrity monitoring for the print data, from the generation of the data in a computer, in particular a host computer, to the finished printed document. It is particularly advantageous here that related print data of an area (for example in form fields of forms or on the front and back of the document) is generated on the document by various individual printing processes with one or more printing units can be checked with regard to their data integrity or correct association.
- an area for example in form fields of forms or on the front and back of the document
- control list can also be provided as a stored data list or by means of a method (algorithm) for generating a successive sequence of control numbers, i.e. Both the sending system (data source) and the receiving system (data receiver) can optionally use the control list as a saved list, e.g. work look-up-table (LUT) or calculate the control numbers of the control list online with a computer processor.

- FIG. 1 A printing system for executing the method according to the invention is shown schematically simplified in FIG. 1.
- This printing system has a printer 1, which is preferably a high-performance printer, for printing on a paper web 2.
- the printer 1 is connected via a data line 3 to a computer 4, from which the printer 1 receives a print data stream via the data line 3 receives.
- the computer 4 is either a server that merely temporarily stores or forwards the print data stream or a host on which the print job and the corresponding print data stream are generated.
- the IPDS Intelligent Printer Data Stream
- print data stream typical for high-performance printers is used as the print data stream. It is of course also possible to use print data streams in other formats, such as PCL (Print Command Language), PS (Post Script) or AFP (Advanced Function Presentation).
- the data line 3 leads to a controller 5, in which the print data contained in the print data stream are processed for a character generator arranged downstream.
- the character generator 6 generates control signals for driving a printing unit 19 with a photoconductor drum 7, with which the print data are printed on the paper web 2.
- the character generator 6 and the photoconductor drum 7 form a printing unit 19.
- the controller 5 is also connected to a device control, not shown, which controls the various units of the printing device, e.g. the paper transport, the electrophotography unit, the fixing station, etc.
- the controller 5 is connected to a control panel 20 on which system information is displayed and via which settings on the printer 1 can be made.
- Paper web 2 is typically a continuous paper web for high performance printers. However, printers with very high performance are now also known which print on single sheets in which the use of the method according to the invention is also expedient.
- Control numbers are generated in controller 5 and inserted into the print data stream. This is explained in more detail below.
- a sensor 8 for scanning the control numbers printed on the paper web 2 is provided downstream of the photoconductor drum 7 adjacent to the paper web 2. If the control numbers are printed in the form of a bar or bar code, the sensor is a simple photo sensor that detects the differences in brightness on the paper web.
- the sensor 8 is connected to a monitoring device 9, which in turn is coupled to a central pressure control 10.
- the paper web 2 is driven by a conveying device 13 in the conveying direction 14.
- the data stream supplied via data line 3 contains additional information about the print job, such as
- Sheet or page numbers which are also supplied to a monitoring device 9 via a further data line 11.
- this additional information can initially only be supplied to the controller 5, which then sends this to the controller via a further data line 12
- Monitoring device 9 passes on.
- the data line 11 can then be omitted.
- the controller 5 it is also possible for the controller 5 to generate the additional information about the print job itself and to supply it to the monitoring device 9 if the computer 4 does not provide such information.
- the control signal (A) is a central start / stop signal with which the start and end of a printing process or printing process are marked.
- the control signal is usually generated by the character generator 6 as soon as the latter receives the information from the controller 5 that sufficient print data are available for the printing process.
- the control signal (B) is a clock signal that specifies a predetermined clock that synchronizes all the time The facilities involved in the printing process and are constantly available to them.
- the individual devices of the printer 1 can use the start / stop signal (A) and the clock signal (B) to determine when the individual pages or predetermined locations on the pages come past them.
- CI delay
- Control numbers are timed by the sensor 8.
- step S2 the controller 5 reads in the print data coming from the computer 4 via the data line 3.
- a device for generating control numbers is provided in the controller 5, with which the control numbers are provided (step S3).
- This facility can be a list of stored control numbers.
- this device can also be designed as a method. Such methods are, for example, pseudo-random number generators.
- controller 5 If the same device for generating control numbers as is provided in the controller 5 is provided in the monitoring device 9, the controller 5 and the
- Monitoring device 9 synchronize their devices with each other so that both devices are the same Provide a sequence of control numbers. Such synchronization can take place by means of a synchronization command from the controller 5 via the data line 12 to the monitoring device 9. This synchronization takes place, for example, after an interruption in the printing process due to an error condition and after the error condition has been remedied. An error state in this sense is also an error in the printing process ascertained by the monitoring unit 9.
- sequence of control numbers should have as little redundancy as possible, i.e. that sequences with a certain number of control numbers should only appear once in the entire list of control numbers. In other words, this means that the entropy in the sense of the numerics of the sequence of control numbers should be as large as possible.
- the sequence of numbers 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0 ... has a very high redundancy and a very low entropy, since this sequence is repeated with period two. It is advisable to provide significantly longer repetition periods.
- a repetition period of 100 may already be sufficient for printing systems intended for small print jobs. However, larger repetition periods of at least 1000, 10000 or more are to be used more advantageously.
- control numbers generated in this way are inserted into the print data (step S4).
- a character that represents the control number is inserted at a predetermined position in the print data in each page to be printed.
- Such a sign is also called a control mark.
- the method according to the invention allows a small number of numbers with e.g. sixteen, eight, four, or just two numbers, with a corresponding few
- Control numbers can be represented. Such control numbers can be printed with a brand that is smaller in area than control numbers from a larger number set.
- control numbers in any number system such as a hexadecimal, decimal or binary number system.
- control numbers in the binary system are preferred.
- the control numbers are preferably displayed by means of a bar or bar code, since they can easily be detected automatically.
- a thin or thick line or an existing or a non-existing line is provided for each digit of the binary number.
- FIG. 4 the front and back of a sheet being shown here, on which the corresponding control numbers are printed in the form of a bar code.
- the bar code has a binary structure, ie only a zero or a one is encoded. The zero can be coded by no line (shown in the upper pages of FIG.
- the bar code can also comprise several bars and / or ⁇ Display control numbers of more than one bit of information content.
- control numbers After the control numbers have been inserted into the print data, these are printed on the paper web 2 by means of the printing unit (step S5). This ends the process for generating and printing the control numbers (step S6).
- step S8 the control marks or control numbers printed on the paper web 2 are scanned by means of the sensor 8.
- the scanning process is timed by the start / stop signal (A) and the clock signal (B) ( Figure 2). In this way, exactly predetermined areas can be scanned on the respective printed pages.
- the sensor 8 converts the scanned light signals into digital signals, namely into the control numbers, and forwards them to the monitoring device 9.
- the control number read is compared in the monitoring device with a corresponding control number in the control list (step S9).
- the control list can in turn be stored in the form of a pre-stored data list in the monitoring device 9 or can be generated by means of a predetermined method, such as a pseudo-random number generator. Regardless of how the sequence of control numbers is made available in the monitoring device 9, this sequence of control numbers must be synchronized with the pages to be monitored. In the present exemplary embodiment, this takes place in that the first The control number in the control list is assigned to the first page defined by the start / stop signal (A) and the clock signal (B) and the further control numbers in the list in the order existing in the control list are assigned to the pages following the first page in this order with which they are also inserted into the pages of the print data by the controller 5.
- step S9 If it is determined in this comparison (step S9) that the control number read should not be the same as the corresponding control number in the checklist, this means that the sensor has scanned a control number that does not correspond to the page at the corresponding position in the Consequence of the printing process should be present. Such a deviation is thus assessed as an error. A corresponding error message is forwarded to the pressure controller 10 (step S10).
- step S11 in which it is checked whether a further control number is to be scanned. If this is the case, the process flow goes back to step S8, otherwise the process is ended with step S12.
- step S9 If the comparison in step S9 shows that the control number read is equal to the corresponding control number in the checklist, the method goes directly from step S9 to step S11.
- This method can be modified in such a way that not only is it determined whether the correct control number is read by the sensor 8, but also it is determined whether the control number passes the sensor exactly at the predetermined point in time at which it should pass the sensor, and if there is a time deviation, this can be measured, for example in units of the clock signal. By determining this time deviation, the deviation becomes the control number measured from the ideal position on the paper web. This also enables the registration accuracy of the print on the paper web to be determined.
- the information contained in the sequence of the control numbers present in the control list is used according to the invention, the information contained in a control number can be very small. It is therefore even possible to use only a single-digit binary number as a control number.
- the invention thus correlates the information contained in the control numbers with the information contained in the sequence of the control number.
- a linearly congruent generator can be used as the pseudo-random number generator, with which the random numbers are generated with the following formula:
- x n is the pseudo-random number calculated in calculation step n.
- the previous pseudo-random number x n _ ⁇ is also the "inner state" of the pseudo-random number generator.
- the pseudo-random number generator is initialized by setting x n - ⁇ to a defined value.
- the operator "mod” denotes the integer remainder of a division.
- x ⁇ (- • (x n - ⁇ + s n ) + b) mod m, (2) where s n is the additional information, for example a page or sheet number, supplied by the server for each page or sheet becomes.
- a control number can be calculated from a pseudo random number using the following formula with only a few bits
- y n is the random number calculated from the pseudo-random number x n in the calculation step n .
- the coefficient c can be a power of two for easy calculation.
- the operator "div" denotes the integer division, ie the division with truncation of the decimal places.
- the coefficient k is used to invert (vary) the code values.
- the operator " ⁇ " designates the bit-wise exclusive or link, which is used to invert the calculated codes. For example, it can be useful to use a sequence of control numbers for the front and the corresponding sequence of inverted control numbers for the back when printing on both sides.
- the method according to the invention can be used very advantageously in a tandem printing system.
- a tandem printing system comprises two printers 1a, 1b (FIG. 3), each with a controller 5a, 5b, a line generator 6a, 6b, printing units, each of which has a photoconductor drum 7a regarding. 7b, a monitoring device 9a, 9b and a pressure control 10a, 10b.
- the two printers la, 1b print on a common paper web 2, the paper web 2 being turned in the area between the two printers la, lb by means of a turning device 15.
- Each printer la, lb thus prints one side surface of the paper web, so that the paper web is printed on both side surfaces.
- the two printers la and lb each receive the print data stream via a data line 3a and 3b from a computer 4.
- the data stream contains additional information about the print job, such as Sheet or page numbers which are also supplied to the monitoring devices 9a and 9b via further data lines 11a and 11b.
- this additional information can initially only be supplied to the controllers 5a and 5b, who then pass these on to the monitoring devices 9a and 9b via further data lines 12a and 12b.
- the data lines 11a and 11b can then be omitted.
- the controllers 5a and 5b it is also possible for the controllers 5a and 5b to generate the additional information about the print job itself and to deliver it to the monitoring devices 9a and 9b if the computer 4 does not provide such information.
- the control signal (A) is a central start / stop signal with which the start and end of a printing process or printing process are marked.
- the control signal is usually generated by the character generator 6a or 6b as soon as it receives the information from the controller 5a or 5b that the printing process can begin. This is the case in printer la if there is sufficient print data available in both printers la and lb for the printing process. In printer lb this is the case if there enough print data is available and there is also a sufficiently long paper web (supplied by Drucker la) for printing.
- the control signal (B) is a clock signal which specifies a predetermined clock which enables time synchronization of all devices involved in the printing process and is constantly available to them.
- the two printers 1a, 1b can each be operated individually and in particular together as a so-called single point of operation via the control panels 20a, 20b.
- the printer la is arranged in the conveying direction (arrow 14) in front of the turning device 15 and, like the printer 1 from FIG. 1, is designed with a sensor 8a.
- the second printer 1b which is arranged in the conveying direction after the turning device 15, has two sensors 8b, 8c, the sensor 8a being arranged adjacent to one side of the paper web 2 and the sensor 8c at the same height adjacent to the other side of the paper web 2 , so that both sides of the paper web are scanned by the sensors 8b, 8c.
- the monitoring of the printing process takes place in the printer 1a in exactly the same way as in the printing system illustrated in FIG. 1 explained above.
- both sides of the paper web are monitored.
- Control numbers that have been created, for example, using the same control list are printed on both sides, the control numbers not being inverted on one side and the control numbers inverted on the other side.
- two control numbers are read out for each sheet of paper, one for the front and another for the back.
- the inverted control number is inverted again so that the two control numbers read out can be compared with one another and with the corresponding control number in the control list. If one of these three control numbers deviates, there is an error and is output accordingly.
- the control list can in turn be provided by a predetermined list of control numbers, which is stored in the two controllers 5a, 5b. However, it can also be generated, for example, in the controller 5a by means of a suitable method, and the control numbers can be passed on to the controller 5b of the printer 1b via the data line 3. However, the control numbers are preferably generated in the two controllers 5a, 5b by means of a suitable method, such as, for example, a pseudo-random number generator. For this purpose, the random number generator is started with the same start parameters at a corresponding point in time.
- the start of a larger print job or, if a printing process had to be interrupted by an error state the continuation of this printing process after the error state has been eliminated can be specified as a corresponding point in time.
- a regular interruption of a printing process for example when refilling toner or removing a stack of paper, it is not necessary to restart the random number generators.
- control numbers are advanced and processed by processing the print data stream page by page.
- control numbers are advanced by scanning the control codes page by page, which is made possible by the control signals (A) and (B) in synchronism with the printing process.
- the printed control numbers printed as a bar code can also be used to control further processes which are carried out on the web-shaped recording medium or on the paper web, for example cutting, folding, punching, stapling or gluing processes.
- a cutting device 16 is arranged in the paper running direction behind the second printing device 1b, which has two sensors 17a, 17b on both sides of the paper web 2 in order to be able to scan both reversed and double-sided recording media and unturned, single-sided recording media.
- One of the sensors 17a, 17b detects the bar code printed on the paper web 2 corresponding to the control code.
- the scanning signal then controls the point in time at which the knife 18 of the cutting device cuts the paper web 2 in two parts.
- the knife 18 can be controlled so that it separates the paper web 2 exactly along the bar. This makes it possible to ensure that the printed line lies on the outermost edge of the cut paper or that the line is cut out or punched out and practically no longer interferes with the paper sheet produced in the process.
- the above exemplary embodiment shows how the printing process in two printers of a tandem printing system can be synchronized with one another by means of the method according to the invention.
- it is not only possible to synchronize printing processes but it is also possible to synchronize a printing process with a postprocessing process.
- Such postprocessing processes are, for example, the cutting of paper webs, the punching or binding of the printed sheets.
- a large number of different post-processing devices are known.
- a monitoring device with a corresponding sensor is to be provided in the post-processing device, as is used in the printers explained above.
- control list is made available in each case in the monitoring device and the control numbers are read from the pages to be monitored in order to be compared with the corresponding control numbers of the control list.
- the control numbers according to the invention can also be generated using the linear feedback shift register method, which is also referred to as the LFSR method ("Linear Feedback Shift Register").
- the LFSR method can be used to generate a bit sequence which has the special property that any sequence of n consecutive bits occurs only exactly once within the entire sequence of N bits.
- the total length N of the bit sequence can be a maximum of 2 n .
- a sequence of values a ⁇ _ ⁇ k - 1 ... N) is generated according to the following formula.
- the numbers a k and s each comprise n bits:
- a t is a kth random number
- a k _ ⁇ is the previous random number
- s is a key
- ⁇ is a bitwise U ⁇ D combination and parity is a function with which the number of bits of the respective value is counted and the bit count 0 for an even number of bits and 1 for odd number of bits.
- Multiplying by 2 by a k _ ⁇ - shifts the bits from a k _ ⁇ to the left, cutting off the most significant bit.
- the key value (key) s and an initial value a which each have a length of n bits, are to be defined as parameters of the LFSR algorithm.
- the number sequence is expanded by a state: ... ⁇ 2 (n ⁇ 1) -> 0 -> 1 ⁇ ...
- the LFSR method is expanded, as shown in the flowchart from FIG. 7.
- the control number is printed on each page and does not form the complete number, but only part of a page number. This means that a page number is distributed over m consecutive pages, each with a control number. Each control number consists of t bits, where t is a divisor of n. A sequence of m successive control numbers can then be put together again to form a complete page number.
- N Z ⁇ t (N - t () [ggt: greatest common divisor]
- the largest possible range for the page numbers 1 to Z is now sought. According to formula (7), this is achieved when the
- control numbers of eight consecutive pages give a complete page number.
- Each control number consists of two bits.
- the page numbers run from 1 to 65535.
- the bit sequence of N 65535 bits is run through twice. In the second pass, the bit positions are shifted by one compared to the first pass, so that the second pass can be distinguished from the first.
- control numbers of five consecutive pages give a complete page number.
- Each control number consists of three bits.
- the page numbers run from 1 to 32768.
- the bit sequence of N 32768 bits is run through three times.
- t steps of the LFSR process are carried out for each printed page (or printed sheet).
- t bits are supplied for one control number each.
- This control number is printed on the paper in accordance with the methods described above and recorded by means of a monitoring device.
- the page number of a page is determined by reading the control number from this page and the control numbers from the m-1 preceding pages. The total of m control numbers are then put together to form a coded page number (according to a specified order).
- control numbers of the non-existent pages are replaced by defined replacement or initial values which correspond to the end sequence of the bit sequence generated by the LFSR method.
- initial value a the missing control numbers can always be set to 0.
- the method can also be implemented in such a way that the control numbers of the "searched" page and the subsequent m-1 pages are put together.
- the determination of the page number for the last m-1 pages of a print job is then problematic or not possible.
- Page range bit sequence
- control numbers
- Page 1 15: 1011100011111000101100000 5C7C h 15 Page 1 ..) 16: 1011100011111000101100000 B8F8 h 16 Page 2 ..) 17: 1011100011111000.1101100000 71F1 h 17 Page 3 ..) 18: 1011100011111000101100000 E3E2 h 18
- a decoding method which delivers the uncoded page number z from the coded page number c.
- the variant with the largest computing time and the least memory requirement uses the LFSR method, which is used “backwards”, that is, in the opposite direction to the (coding) LFSR method that generated the control numbers.
- the number of passes d required is then counted until the LFSR method reaches the initial state of the first coded page number ci. In the trivial case of decoding the first page number, the number of passes d can also be 0.
- the first table is a list of intermediate values that are evenly distributed across all coded page numbers.
- the second table contains the information as to whether a certain coded page number c is contained in the first table.
- the second table comprises N bits, ie one bit for each possible value c.
- the backward-running LFSR method is applied to c. This is repeated until a state c * is reached, which is contained in the first table.
- the state c * reached is then sought within the first table. Based on the position of c * within the first table as well as the counted runs d, the page number z sought can be determined. The distance between the intermediate values is v.
- the first table then contains 1024 values or 2048 bytes.
- the second table uses 65536 bits or 8 kbytes.
- the number of runs d is always in the range from 0 to 63, and a maximum of 1024 search steps are necessary within the first table.
- the LFSR bit sequence (1 to N) is run through several times.
- the page numbers are "mixed" with one another.
- the actual (uncoded) page number x is calculated from the page number z obtained in the first decoding step as follows:
- the number of pages in which an error has occurred can thus be determined from the sequence of control numbers read.
- the LFSR method thus represents a preferred pseudo-random number generator, since the resultant sequence of control numbers is suitable for the subsequent determination of the page numbers.
- pseudo-random number generators can also be used.
- random number generators are known that use the thermal noise of a diode to generate the random numbers.
- Corresponding hardware components are commercially available.
- pseudo-random number generators are used instead of “real random number” generators, the relevant sequences of the random numbers must be recorded in the printing system and the monitoring devices made available.
- a further analysis of the error is advisable since the exact number of pages at which the error occurred cannot always be specified. Rather, a page number can be specified in which the error occurred as early as possible, or a page area in which the error occurred. To indicate this page range, the previous pages must be traced, each with the same control number. It is therefore expedient during the monitoring that the control numbers of at least n previous pages are stored in order to be able to indicate the earliest possible incorrect number of pages in the event of an error. If the control numbers of the previous pages are not saved, all n previous pages must always be discarded and re-printed in order to prevent incorrect printing.
- Sequence B is the sequence of control numbers read from the printed pages.
- Pages up to and including page 21 also have the control number "0". An error can therefore have occurred at the earliest on page 21 or pages 21 to 27 can be specified as a range in which an error must have occurred.
- control numbers of the previous page 30 and that of the current page 31 are the same, i. H. it is examined further in accordance with case b).
- the method according to the invention can be modified in such a way that a single reading error is tolerated if the control numbers of at least i subsequent pages match again, where i is equal to or greater than 10.
- Deviation occur, whereby the error would be recognized.
- the memory for the control numbers of the past pages must then comprise at least 2i numbers in order to be able to indicate the range of a possible error.
- a page number can be decoded from this. This can be compared with a page number which is obtained, for example, by counting the printed sheets or is obtained by assigning a page number to each control number in the checklist, which page number can then be read out accordingly. From this comparison z. B. see if and how many pages are missing from the printout or are duplicated. This is important for determining and correcting possible causes of errors.
- the data integrity monitoring in the printing systems shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is used for the logical control and monitoring of the printing process. Corresponding data integrity monitoring can also be carried out in other printing systems, for example in a printing system which has two printing units in a common housing for simultaneous printing on the front and the back of a web-shaped or sheet-shaped recording medium, as is known from US Pat. No. 6,246,856 is.
- bit marks For data integrity control and monitoring of the printing process, bar codes are printed as so-called bit marks on each print page.
- the bit marks each contain one bit of information, shown e.g. B. by a thin or thick line. Whether as a bit mark is printed "0" or a "1", the controller determined based on the above-explained • LFSR algorithm, which is run through for each print page.
- the LFSR algorithm is based on an N-bit key and generates a unique bit sequence with a length of 2 N bits. N successive bits within the bit sequence are again unique and can therefore be interpreted as an "encrypted page number".
- the controller also sends the internal state of the running LFSR algorithm (an N-bit value) to the device controller.
- a new value is transferred for each print page.
- the internal status is clearly determined for 2 W printed pages, ie the status is only repeated after 2 W runs.
- For ⁇ 12 there are 4096 different states, which means that the repetition rate when assigning the control numbers (page numbers) page by page is 4096 pages in this case.
- each N-digit binary control number is only available once, so that there is a unique assignment between all start and end positions of N-digit sections with their respective position numbers (page numbers) ,
- the same LFSR algorithm runs in the control software of the device control as in the controller.
- a first monitoring step the device control checks whether the status values supplied by the controller match the values that were calculated with the company's own LFSR algorithm.
- the printed bit marks are scanned with mark sensors.
- the device control evaluates the signals from the brand sensors and decodes them Sampling signals back into individual bits.
- the bits read must match the bits supplied by the LFSR algorithm. Possible reading errors of the brand sensors can or must be taken into account. It can happen that a bit mark is either not read at all or misinterpreted. It is advantageous that individual reading errors are tolerated within certain limits (eg N pages). A deviation of two or more bits within N pages leads to the printing process being aborted with an error message.
- the "encrypted" page number can also be formed from N successively read bits and a "real", consecutive page number can be decoded from this, as described above.
- FIGS. 8 to 11 illustrate a representation in which the generated control codes, the read control codes and any system messages that are generated on the basis of the reading result and / or a comparison of the sequence of the control codes and the read control codes are displayed.
- a display in table form is provided, which can be called up by the user (operator) at any time and which is constantly updated during a printing process.
- the first column in the table shows the sequence of the LFSR algorithm with the expected page number and the expected bit mark.
- the evaluation are namely thresholds set may occur how many errors the first or second type before choosing "data integrity error” is made automatically and the printing is canceled.
- the error of the first kind may not exceed twice occur per 12 pages before printing will be canceled while the second type error may occur no more than once per 12 pages before printing is canceled, and if an error of the first type and an error of the second type occurs within 12 pages, printing will continue.
- bit marks of page no. 14 on the lower printing unit and page no. 22 of the upper printing unit are not recognized in the 16 consecutive pages with the numbers 11 to 26. This means that only a few bit marks are not recognized by the brand sensor, because there is a maximum of one incorrect reading on each printing unit within 12 pages.
- the missing bit mark can then be replaced by the expected bit mark of the algorithm so that the page numbers continue to be correctly decoded and displayed. The individual reading errors are tolerated.
- the unrecognized brand ("brand missing") is marked in the colored representation on the control panel with a first color, for example with yellow.
- the bit marks on pages 14, 18 and 24 are not recognized on pages 11 to 26 on the lower printing unit, ie the bit marks are very often not recognized. This leads to the printing process being aborted with an error message.
- the side that caused the error is marked in the colored control panel display with a second color, for example red.
- FIG. 10 shows the sequence for a single incorrectly interpreted bit mark.
- a "0" is read instead of "1".
- the monitoring waits to see if another bit error occurs. The error only regenerated after 12 pages, the page numbers from page No. 27 are correct again. The incorrectly read page and the subsequent 11 page numbers are again marked in yellow on the colored display.
- FIG. 11 shows the sequence for two or more incorrectly read bit marks.
- the monitoring announces the termination of the printing process from the second bit error on page No. 25.
- the invention is described above with the aid of examples which print on one or both sides of a web-shaped recording medium, in particular a paper web. However, it can also be used to synchronize different colored printouts to each other or to check the data integrity of printouts on single sheets, especially when different data from different printing units are printed on a ' single sheet ' .
- the data integrity on a record carrier can take place by comparing the control codes between the data source and the data receiver (as described in particular in FIG. 8) or also by comparing the control codes of two
- Data receivers in particular if the two data receivers are printing units or different areas (front / back) of a recording medium which have been printed with different printing units or in separate printing processes. To do this, the control codes of the print data of both areas must be included the same number sequence have been created or a number sequence transformation is carried out.
- Several printed images can be printed on the front and back and / or in different colors on each sheet. With full color printing, for example, up to five (or more) individual color images are printed on each sheet side.
- a separate control number can be generated for each print image and printed in the form of a control mark.
- the control marks of different printed images should not overlap.
- the control numbers of the individual printed images do not have to be the same, but can be varied according to a fixed scheme, for example the control numbers on the back can be inverted to those on the front.
- control numbers read are compared with a reference sequence of control numbers, which are supplied by an electronic circuit, from a stored table, by a calculation method or by a random number generator.
- a missing or multiple printed sheet is recognized.
- control numbers which are contained in a control list are printed as the control code.
- the control numbers are not sorted numerically one after the other, but are arranged in any order with the highest possible entropy.
- the printout checks whether the control numbers have been printed in the same order as in the control list. This makes it possible to use control numbers with few digits, in particular even single-digit binary numbers.
- control numbers can either be made available by stored control lists or the control lists can be generated by means of a corresponding method.
- a preferred method is the LFSR method, since it generates control numbers that are suitable for the page numbers to be calculated from the control numbers. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
