DRYSTAR 5500/5503 REFERENCE MANUAL
Functional description
The Drystar 5500 consists of two functional blocks: a controller and a print
engine.
The controller
captures the incoming digital data via the network and stores the data on a
hard disk,
composes the different images, and
generates the appropriate print engine control signals.
The print engine receives the image data from the controller, drives the film
through the device and makes grayscale prints.
The diagram below shows how the film is transported through the printer
(gray section in the drawing below).
