SECTION 1 General Information
The Model 5200 and 5400 are part of the 5000 Series of case
coders, which use MARKEM Touch Dry® ink technology, and
provide flexibility and quality in coding cases directly on your
packaging line.
Depending on the ink delivery module of your coder, ink blocks or
ink bottles are used.
The Model 5200 can be configured with up to two printheads and
the Model 5400 can be configured with up to four printheads.
Images are designed and prepared for printing from a computer
using MARKEM Composer™ or CoLOS™ Create image design
software, which allow for input of variable data and multiple
languages. Composer or CoLOS Create job files are downloaded to
the coder for printing images on your product or package. The coder
can be connected to a dedicated computer or networked with a host
computer for connection to multiple Markem-Imaje coders.
Operation is controlled through a user interface module, which is
mounted to the top of the enclosure. Some operations may also be
controlled through networking.

difference between the two models is the maximum number of
printheads that can be configured, and design changes necessary
to accommodate the printheads.
Most procedures and pictures in this guide depict the Model 5200.
