1.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE PA/4000 PRINTER/APPLICATOR SERIES

PA/4000 Series is comprised of three Printer/Applicators each designed with special
features for different uses.  PA/4000 Series are print and apply systems designed for
high-speed, high-volume industrial applications.  They are next-label-out systems that
provide true on-demand, variable data labeling.  High quality print ensures excellent
legibility of critical information at every phase of the shipping process.
Each system in the series comes equipped with:

•

 

An air cylinder tamp head assembly with auto-retract that apply labels with

great accuracy at high conveyor speeds

•

 

A Prodigy Plus

TM

 print engine manufactured by DataMax

•

 

A hand-held terminal device that allows for control of applicator functions

•

 

An air filter assembly

The PA/4000 connects to almost any computer through either the RS-232C or the RS-
422 serial interface.  If your PC uses an interface other than ASCII character based RS-
232 or RS-422 you will need an interface converter.  The manufacturer of your
computer will be able to recommend the proper protocol and interface converter
between the system and the Prodigy Plus’s asynchronous RS-232C interface.
An optional software package recommended by Diagraph, called Performance Series for
Windows™, is available for creating, storing, and printing label formats from IBM® or
compatible - personal computers.
The PA/4000 has a full-range of options available. It is flexible and can address a
variety of design and custom application requirements:

1.

 

Product labeling using labels as large as 4.5 inches x 13 inches

2.

 

Colored ribbons are available

3.

 

Pharmaceutical and electronics packaging

4.

 

Popular UPC bar codes

5.

 

High-quality fonts and graphics
