    The IJ3000 always sends 72 dots of print data per column regardless of the number of print heads on a daisy chain. On a daisy chain with less than 72 dots the first dots shifted out are lost, not printed.

    As a product's speed increases, the time period between columns must decrease, that is, the print speed must increase, to maintain consistent column-to-column spacing. The IJ3000 has two encoder options, external and internal. Use the external encoder where the conveyor speed fluctuates. You can use the internal encoder when the conveyor speed is constant.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a triboelectric charge generated by separating or rubbing together two non-conductive materials. What causes ESD? Friction can cause ESD. Friction can be generated by walking across a floor, removing tape from a tape dispenser, pulling a work order from a plastic work order holder, rolling the wheels of a push-cart across the floor, sitting on a foam cushion such as a stool or blowing air across a nonconductive surface.
