Linx has developed a new continuous ink jet printer, Linx 7900, with added capabilities that help food and drink customers to print with lesser mistakes and measure production output.
The improved software in the machine enables quick, time-saving changeovers between products or messages. It also comes with a simple automated set-up procedure.
The risk of expensive errors is reduced with the help of the new Linx QuickSwitch which delivers simple, automated code set up.
The printer is also able to intelligently decipher barcode to select a message from its memory, edit the message, set date and choose parameters like print orientation, height and width and position on the pack by connecting a barcode scanner.
The equipment also features a new print history log feature which takes care of the issue of accurate product output measurement by recording which codes have been printed, how many times and over what period.
It incorporates the Linx Insight software that allows users to monitor and control their printers through a web browser, either through a PC or a web enabled smartphone.
Linx senior product manager Charles Randon said: "Our customers tell us they are concerned about errors being made by employees during the setting-up process, especially where the item being coded changes frequently. We also know they need to measure line output, and manual recording takes time and isn't always accurate.
"That's why we've added these new features to the Linx 7900, which will help customers to save time, reduce coding errors, and measure their production output more accurately."
