1.1. Application
EBS-230
is a family of inexpensive and easy to operate industrial INK JET printers that are
designed for labelling in a non-contact way, various objects moving on a factory conveyor. The printer
provides clear and firm labels on such materials as:
•
paper and cardboard,
•
(porous) plastics,
•
fabric,
•
leather and leather-like products,
•
wood and wood-like products,
•
(porous) ceramic products,
•
metal surfaces of any type, etc.
The printer is characterized by the following qualities:
´
Small size with a printer independent from the device controller. Therefore the printer can be
installed directly in front of object to be printed on, often in difficult to reach places.
´
It is not necessary to connect the printer to the controller (a computer or
T200
terminal).
´
It can be fixed in any position.
´
It can be equipped with a 7 or 16-nozzle print head.
´
It can print with coloured and surface-specific inks, with one ink type to be used for a given
printer.
´
It can print variable data such as the current date, the end of the guarantee period (service life,
period of storage, etc.) of the object labelled, time, numbering in ascending or descending orders
(counters).
´
The text to be printed and printing parameters can easily be entered and changed with connection
to a selected PC computer with Windows® operating system (see Minimum Recommended
Hardware Requirements on 61 page) or optionally with a
T200
terminal. Connection to PC or
T200
terminal is via a cable – see chapter 2.5 Printer Communication with Controller – PC
or
T200
Terminal .
´
Labelled objects are recognized by a photo-detector.
´
When a speed indicator (a rotation and pulse converter) is attached, prints can be produced on
objects moving at a varying speed.
´
The printer’s operation is fully automated, so are status indications and call-for-service messages.
´
Bottles of ink are fully controlled and only bottles applicable for compatible EBS printer types are
accepted.
´
The printer can be used uninterruptedly for 24 hours a day.
