Euro‑pallet, which consists of, among other things:

In the application show in Fig. 33 on page 40 :
– In both printers, printing is timed by one encoder 11 ; the signal from the encoder is distributed
with splitter 14 ,
Encoder 11 , together with roll 11b and guide wheel unit 11c (see Fig. 31 on page 39 ) where
the wheel rolls along the pallet surface, is designed to match up the printing speed to the vari -
able speed at which pallets move on the conveyor.
– Both printers can be synchronized to start and pause printing at the same time,
– One of the printers must print a project as a mirror image of the project; the project parameter |

Every application shall each time meet the user's requirements. For information about configu -
ration capabilities of the printers contact an authorized representative of
EBS Ink Jet Systeme GmbH.
2.3.5.1. USE OF ONE PHOTODETECTOR ‑ PRINTS NOT SYNCHRONIZED WITH
EURO‑PALLETS
If the printer is equipped with internal photodetector 2c only, the photodetector can be used for:
– detecting whole Euro‑pallets by sensing the bottom board ( ) (see Fig. 34 on page 42 ),
– detecting successive brackets ( ) (see Fig. 35 on page 42 and Fig. 36 on page 43 ).
Detecting whole pallets
Internal photodetector 2c detects whole Euro‑pallets ( ) by sensing the bottom board (see Fig. 34
on page 42 ). The printer “cannot see” brackets, so the project to be printed must include fixed
spaces between print pieces ( P1 , P2 , P3 ). Spacer ‑type objects should be used. Printing of
each of the print pieces is independent of the location and width of brackets in a pallet.
For more details about Spacer ‑type objects see “5.4.4.4. Creating/Editing a Spacer-type
Object” .
