The printer control serves to print the screwing data (torque, angle etc.) from a screwdriver control onto a label. A printer control for label printers is used for this purpose. In industrial assembly, dot matrix printers are also used to emboss a number or other marking directly onto the surface of a component after a screwing process. In this case the use of the printer control for a dot matrix printer is necessary.

An embedded system consists of a microcomputer, software, sensors and actuators. The microcomputer, which is embedded in surrounding technical systems, performs tasks such as controlling, regulating or monitoring the system.
