Abstract
A control unit controls a food printer configured to extrude printing compound from a container onto a tray in order to print a food. The control unit is configured to determine spectral data relating to the printing compound in the container. The spectral data is dependent on a transmission degree and/or on a reflection degree of the printing compound for electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength. The control unit is furthermore configured to control the food printer in dependence on the spectral data. A food printer having the control unit and a method for controlling the printer are also provided.

1-12. (canceled).
In a food printer configured to extrude printing compound from a container onto a tray in order to print a food, a control unit configured:
- to determine spectral data relating to the printing compound in the container, the spectral data being dependent on at least one of a transmission degree or a reflection degree of the printing compound for electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength;
- and
- to control the food printer as a function of the spectral data.
A method for controlling a food printer configured to extrude printing compound from a container onto a tray in order to print a food, the method comprising the following steps:
- determining spectral data relating to the printing compound in the container, the spectral data being dependent on at least one of a transmission degree or a reflection degree of the printing compound for electromagnetic radiation with at least one wavelength;
- and
- controlling the food printer as a function of the spectral data.
