1.0 Welcome to the Model 5200/5400
The Model 5200 and 5400 are part of the 5000 Series of case coders,
which use MARKEM Touch Dry® ink technology, and provide
flexibility and quality in coding cases directly on your packaging line.
Depending on the ink delivery module of your coder, ink blocks or ink
bottles are used.
The Model 5200 can be configured with up to two printheads and the
Model 5400 can be configured with up to four printheads.
Images are designed and prepared for printing from a computer using
MARKEM Composer™ or CoLOS™ Create image design software,
which allow for input of variable data and multiple languages.
Composer or CoLOS Create job files are downloaded to the coder for
printing images on your product or package. The coder can be
connected to a dedicated computer or networked with a host
computer for connection to multiple Markem-Imaje coders.
Operation is controlled through a user interface module, which is
mounted to the top of the enclosure. Some operations may also be
controlled through networking.
