Appendix I: Glossary of Terms
Accumulator
- Housed within the IDS, the
accumulator stores ink for delivery to the
print heads.
Bracketry
- Mounting hardware for ink jet
system components.
Broken Message
- A message that is bro-
ken into two or more pieces, usually from
the encoder slipping.
Check Valve
- A valve that allows air or liq-
uid to flow in only one direction.
Columns Out of Alignment
- Dot columns
line up in a zigzag pattern.
Conditioner
- A non-pigmented ink solvent
designed for flushing and cleaning print
heads and ink line components.
Controller
- The heart of the inkjet system,
this unit gathers information from the com-
puter, the photosensor, and the encoder,
and facilitates the printing of messages by
the print heads.
Daisy Chain
- A series of print heads, total-
ing up to 72 dots, connected to one inter-
face board. The IJ3000 can control one or
two daisy chains.
Dragging Type Dot Size Variation
- Dots
smaller than average, at the beginning of
print only.
Dynamic Seepage
- Ink seepage from ori-
fices only during printing.
Encoder
- This device gathers line speed
information via a wheel rolling against a
conveyor belt. The controller uses this
information to determine when to send print
signals to the print heads.
ESD
- Electrostatic Discharge is a charge
generated by separating or rubbing
together two non-conductive materials.
ESD can result in print problems or even
damage to the ink jet system.
ESD Protection
- Wrist straps, floor mats,
and other devices used when handling
electronic components to minimize ESD.
Ethernet Port Server
- A communications
standard; connects asynchronous serial
ports to an unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
10BASE-T ethernet connection at a baud
rate of 230 Kbps.
Extra Dots
- Dots printed outside the des-
ignated dot columns.
Font
- A complete set of characters -
alphabetic, numeric, and punctuation - in
one typeface. The font used in this glossary
is Arial.
IDS
- The Ink Delivery System consists of a
number of components working together to
transfer ink from the ink pail to the printed
product.
Ink Filter
- A 100-micron filter located in
the ink line to remove any impurities from
the ink before it reaches the print head.
Ink Regulator
- This component is located
in the ink line close to the print head and, in
conjunction with the ink pressure gauge,
can be adjusted to regulate ink pressure to
the print head.
Interface Board
- The power entry point for
the IJ3000, and connection point for the
print head daisy chain, photosensor, and
encoder. A second interface board is
optional.
Internal Dot Size Variation
- Dots are dif-
ferent in size at the intersection of a dot col-
umn and a dot row.
Jumper
- A small plug or wire that alters a
hardware configuration by connecting dif-
ferent points in an electronic circuit.
LED
- Light Emitting Diode. There are sev-
eral LEDs in the IJ3000 system, and they
either illuminate or extinguish to indicate
various operating conditions.
MSDS
- A Material Safety Data Sheet con-
tains federally mandated safety, environ-
mental and disposal information about an
ink or other potentially hazardous material.
Off Target Printing
- One or more dots not
printed in the expected location in the char-
acter.
Photosensor
-- A device that emits a
beam of light, and sends a print signal to
the controller when light is reflected back to
it by a product passing on a conveyor.
Potentiometer
- A variable voltage resistor
that can be adjusted with a small screw-
driver to effect voltage changes in print
head solenoids.
Pressure Gauge
- This can be attached to
the ink line and used to measure ink pres-
sure, aiding the operator in making adjust-
ments to improve print quality.
