Abstract
A method is provided for adapting settings, which are relative to each other, of printing heads of a printing unit of a printing machine. Data regarding settings, which are relative to each other, of at least two printing heads belonging to a first subset of printing heads are detected in a first partial detection process. Data regarding settings, which are relative to each other, of at least two printing heads belonging to a second subset of printing heads and not belonging to the first subset are detected in a second partial detection process. Data regarding at least one setting of at least one first printing head of the first subset and of at least one second printing head of the second subset, which settings are relative to each other, are detected in a complete detection process. At least the first partial detection process and the second partial detection process proceed at least partially simultaneously. At most, either the complete detection process proceeds or the first partial detection process or the second partial process proceeds at each point in time in the course of the method. The settings, which are relative to each other, of at least two of the printing heads are changed in an adjusting process. The invention further relates to a printing machine.
