Zusammenfassung:A printer for printing on a substrate includes an input configured to receive data, a print mechanism configured to print an image on the substrate, and a controller coupled to the input and the print mechanism configured to actuate the print mechanism in response to the input. The controller includes a microprocessor and memory containing a multi-threaded operating system and programming instructions for the microprocessor. The memory implements a plurality of stacks, each stack related to a thread. The programming instructions include a plurality of separate programs and the operating system executes each program as a separate thread and stores information related to each thread on a respective stack in the memory.
