Printer System Overview

2.1
The EC-JET printers provide a means of application of printed information onto a wide range of products.
This information would typically be the date, production codes, consumer information, product or
corporate identification, product traceability, and many others. It can be widely used in pharmaceutical,
chemical, food, construction materials, tobacco, ceramics, electronics and other industries.
The printer is normally fixed to a production line in such a way that printing takes place as the product
passes the print head. The presence of the product and printing can be synchronized using a product
detecting sensor.
The printer consists of a cabinet and a print head. The cabinet houses the electronics module, the ink
system, a power supply and a message screen display. The print head is attached to the rear of the
cabinet via a flexible conduit.
The print head is supplied with ink by the ink system which the print head forms into a continuous stream
of ink drops which recycle to the ink system. When printing is required, drops of ink for printing the
message are deflected from the stream out of the print head onto the product, providing a non-contact
method of printing. The process is controlled by the electronics module which also stores the messages
to be printed. The message is programmed using the touch screen.
