2. Introduction
A safety section has been provided at the front of this manual for your use. You are strongly
advised to read the Safety section carefully before attempting to use the EC-JET printer.
2.1. Printer System Overview
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 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.
2.2. System Description
The EC-JET printers are designed to provide versatile, uninterrupted operation in factory
environments.
