cab J-Scipt enables easy programming of the printer by text strings
and this independently from the label software. Labels can be
designed and the status of the printer can be enquired. The memory
card allows to safe layouts, complex graphics and special fonts. This
reduces the data transmission time.

1. Compressed Air Supply Unit
Assembly is made at the printer, frame or stand.
The micro filter avoids contamination, the pressure
regulator ensures the print and apply quality.

2. Long Service Life
The guides have ball bearings and are therefore resistant to wear.

3. Variable Product Heights
By means of the pneumatic cylinder it is possible to print and
apply at different heights. The cylinder is available in different
lengths.

4. High Process Reliability
Supporting air jet streaming, vacuum as well as the speed of the
cylinder are adjustable. Control is made by sensors.

5. Real Time Print and Apply
Applicators for small and big label enabling to apply labels with a
height of 4-250 mm and a width of 4-116 mm.

6.Protective Cover
Used in the semi-automatic operation mode
Standard size 1 for labels W x H up to 70 x 80 mm
Size            2 for labels W x H up to 116 x 80 mm                 7
Further sizes on demand.

7. Applicator with part to be turned away
Easy and fast access to the printers mechanics for material
change or for maintenance work is possible.
