1.0 Introduction
1.1 The PA/4600 and PA/6000 Printer - Applicators
The PA/4600 and PA/6000 are sixth generation, next label out, print and apply systems designed
for modularity, continuous labeling, self-diagnostics, and ease of use. Modularity of design
provides the basis for ease of installation, setup, and maintenance. The electronics system
employs a hardware-specific design, thus increasing reliability and throughput. The hardware
was developed to simplify construction, and increase longevity by using durable materials. This
unit will perform 24/7 operation in harsh environments and operate trouble-free, given that the
appropriate preventative maintenance is performed on regular service intervals.
