Abstract
In a roll-fed printing apparatus and a method therefor, a controller receives a plurality of ripped images from a raster image processor in memory of the roll managing system irrespectively of the presence of the least one recording medium in the roll-fed printing apparatus. For each ripped image the roll managing system establishes an arbitrary position in the plane of the at least one recording medium at which arbitrary position the ripped image is intended to be printed. The controller creates subsequent image swathes for printing the ripped images according to the established arbitrary positions of the ripped images. While printing created subsequent image swathes, the roll managing system monitors a first actual status of printing of the created subsequent image swathes, a second actual status of a timing of the ripped images to be printed and a third actual status of the at least one receiving medium.
