Equipment Description
The Zodiac Plus printer uses high-resolution thermal transfer
technology with a unique electronic ribbon drive system. This system
reduces the wear on printer parts and the maintenance adjustments
normally associated with thermal transfer coders that use mechanical
ribbon drives. The printer offers greater reliability and ease of
operation compared to earlier systems. It can print barcodes, dates,
text, and graphics onto flexible packaging films and labels.
The printer is a suitable replacement for either hot stamp or rotary
coders. It can print in either of the following modes:
• Intermittent Mode (i.e., while the substrate is stationary)
• Continuous Mode (i.e., while the substrate is moving)
It is suitable for use on most horizontal form/fill/seal, vertical
form/fill/seal, and self-adhesive labelling machines.
The product is available in either left-handed or right-handed versions
to suit different configurations of the packaging machine.
