A device is described that is designed to activate the different heating elements of a drying unit respectively per block within a heating cycle in order to enable an operation of the drying unit that is particularly power-efficient and gentle on the mains.

Device and method for controlling the heating elements of a drying unit of a printing device

A device for generating an output signal, formed as a pulse sequence, with a sensor and a controller. The sensor generates a sensor signal based on a measurand determined by the sensor. The controller determines a number of pulses of a timing signal that are generated chronologically between two pulse edges of the sensor signal, the timing signal being generated by a timing signal generator. The controller also generates an intermediate timing signal formed as a pulse sequence, where the period duration of the intermediate timing signal is equal to the period duration of the timing signal multiplied with a factor that is equal to the determined number of pulses of the timing signal, divided by a predetermined divisor. The controller generates the output signal based on the intermediate timing signal.

Device and method for generating an output signal, formed as a pulse sequence, depending on a sensor signal

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method and a compensator via which the input edges of the encoder signal of an encoder may be transformed into a compensated encoder signal such that requirements with regard to a dot resolution of a printing device and with regard to a maximum activation frequency of the dot generators of the printing device are satisfied.
