The printer system
A typical GraphicJet system is shown in Fig. 2.1. The box/product is moved by a conveyor belt along the
front of the photocell and the coding unit. The photocell is connected to the control unit. An encoder can also
be connected to the control unit but this is optional. If the speed is not constant, an encoder is required for
optimum print qualtiy, otherwise the print will be squeezed in or stretched out. The control unit is connected
to the coding unit(s). Up to two coding units can be connected to one control unit. Both coding units will
generate a print based on the same speed and printsignal.
All connections between printer and peripheral devices are made on the control unit i.e. print request signal,
alarm signals and ethernet connection.
The GraphicJet printhead receives the label from the control unit and prints it on the substrate. The
resolution is always 185 DPI in height and 185 DPI in length.
When the printprocess has finished, the label variables will be updated.
After printing a label the printer is in stand-by mode again and awaiting the next print request signal.
After receiving the next print request signal the time and date items will be updated after which the system
will print the completely updated label.
