Abstract
A label modification unit may receive a label modification input associated with an image. The label modification unit may obtain a bitmap associated with a modification to the rewriteable label. The label modification unit may determine, based on the bitmap and using a heat dissipation model, temperature profiles for a plurality of raster print paths of the laser. The label modification unit may select, based on the temperature profiles and from the plurality of raster print paths, a raster print path for the modification. The label modification unit may control at least one of the laser, the optic, and the reflector system to: cause the light beam to follow the raster print path, and emit the light beam according to an array of power factors that are associated with the raster print path.
