Printheads

The printheads used in the DS5600 series have the performance
characteristics listed in Table 1.1.

Resolution is measured in dots-per-inch (dpi) along the print array for the
X axis and in the direction of substrate movement for the Y axis.
Maximum speed in feet-per-minute (fpm) was determined printing a 4-line
address with a 1-line Postnet barcode separated by 0.5-inch. Data
prepared in IJPDS format can be printed faster, but the actual speed at
which a given job can be printed is determined by the interaction of the
image data and the inter-document spacing. Simulated imaging can be
used to test the speed at which a job can be run.
For DS5600 operation, apply the following guidelines to printhead
mounting:
• Maximum height = 6 ft (183 cm) above the base of the printer cabinet.
• Minimum height = 2 ft (61 cm) below the base.
• For narrow-format printheads, the print array should be no more than
0.5 inch (1.27 cm) above the transport belt. Optimum print quality is
obtained with a printhead height of 0.125 inch (0.317 cm).
• For the DH5300 and DH6300 (wide format) printheads, the maximum
height is 0.1 inch above the transport belt.
• For the DH6240 printhead, the maximum height is 0.125 inch above
the transport belt.

Fluid Containers

The system requires external fluid containers for ink and replenisher fluid.
These containers can be any combination of the following types:
• 5.2 gallon (20 L) cubitainer
• 55 gallon (209 L) drum
• 275 gallon (1045 L) tote
