Overview Each Ink-Cartridge has 320 nozzles, although only 300 are used for printing. The remaining twenty are used for head adjustment purposes. All models have the same resolution (600 dpi), it is simply the print height that differs. The L25 and the L50 are the same in all other respects as the L12. - Page 11 External I/O. Refer to the PCM’s Technical Manual for further information. ENCODER – Used to connect a Matthews speed encoder. An encoder monitors the speed of the print target on a production line and sends a signal to the PTM. The signal from the encoder ensures that the speed of printing corresponds to the print target’s speed.
