Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de dessin (1) doté d'un moyen (13) de dessin qui irradie une lumière laser vers une surface d'étiquette d'un support d'enregistrement pour dessiner un motif recherché sur la surface d'étiquette selon plusieurs tracés de données de dessin pour composer le motif recherché et un moyen de déplacement (12, 14) qui déplace une position irradiée par lumière laser le long de la surface d'étiquette vers une position correspondant à l'un des tracés. Le dispositif de dessin est en outre pourvu d'un moyen de spécification (31, 32) qui spécifie un bit de terminaison de dessin pour terminer le dessin du tracé en question suivant une proportion de bits de dessin représentative du rayonnement de la lumière laser dans une population comprenant plusieurs bits inclus dans les données de dessin pour dessiner ledit tracé, et un moyen de commande de déplacement (31, 32) qui commande le moyen de déplacement de façon que la position irradiée se déplace vers une position correspondant à d'autres tracés compris dans la pluralité detracés lorsque la lumière laser est irradiée suivant le bit de terminaison de dessin à spécifier.
