Cooperative Mode

Overview

Cooperative Mode, or Co-op, is the concept of running two or more [1] printers as a group for increased capacity and/or redundancy. The Controller printer is the primary interface for host systems and operators and distributes the workload to the group members.

Benefits include:

  • Simplified integration. There is no need to distribute jobs to multiple printers or implement control logic for handover.

  • Simplified operation. Operators can control multiple printers from a single touch screen.

  • Improved capacity. Adding printers increases the capacity proportionally.

  • Redundancy. Adding more printers than required for the capacity can be used to increase throughput by running without stops.

  • Scalability. As capacity requirements increase, more printers can be added without expensive integration updates.
