1.2. Principle of Operation
Every label consists of a number of droplet-wide vertical rows. Within the print head, nozzles are
positioned vertically at regular intervals in order to print labels of the maximum height. Each nozzle is
equipped with an electromagnet-controlled valve. Labels are made by jetting ink droplets at pressure
when the valves open. Pressure is generated in the printer through the use of a built-in
micro
compressor. Objects to be labelled move in front of the printer while vertical rows are printed
one by one until the entire label is complete.

1.3. Environmental Protection
The EBS-230 printing system is not subject to Directive 2002/96/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
However, following the European Community’s generally accepted policy on environmental
protection, we recommend that after the EBS-230 printing system has been put out of
service, it should be separated from municipal waste and processed in an environmentally
friendly way according to the applicable local regulations.
1.4. Conformity Marking
The EBS-230 printing system has been subjected to conformity assessment procedure which
resulted in the issue of Declaration of Conformity. This forms the basis for the statement that the
