ABSTRACT:
A printing system includes a feeder module having a local clock; a marking engine having a local clock; a finisher module having a local clock; and a control unit. The control unit is connected to the feeder module, marking engine, and the finisher module. The control unit sends a sync preparation signal to the feeder module, the marking engine, and the finisher module. The feeder module, marking engine, and the finisher module each send a signal to the control unit so that the control unit can determine a difference between the local time of the control unit and the local time of each of the feeder module, marking engine, and the finisher module. The control unit sends event instructions to each of said feeder module, said marking engine, and said finisher module and timing information in terms of the local time of each of the feeder module, marking engine, and finishing module.
