Microcomputer Printer Control Unit
A new type of control unit for film printing machines has been developed by Rank Film Laboratories. It provides a new approach to the operation of printing machines with greater efficiency for typical printing procedures and a lower incidence of operator error and machine failure. The unit is based on a 16-bit, 64-kbyte microcomputer. It is designed and constructed in logical modules and features extensive self-testing capabilities. This article describes the design, functions, and layout of the printer control unit.
