R44e Controller

Mix Small & Large Character DOD Ink-Jet

Introducing the R44e Control Unit, a configurable, multiple printhead, rack-mount ink-jet printing system. Each R44e controls up to 16 Drop-on-Demand, small character, ink-jet printheads for the printing of text, graphic logos and bar codes. The R44e can be equipped with up to 4 CPU modules. These modules can be selected from the newer S.C.I. F.I. 3400 and DOD 5400 systems. CPU modules can be mixed to enable a useful combination of large and small character marking capabilities from a single control unit. Multiple R44e Controllers can be networked to provide control of up to 64 units.Each CPU module placed in the R44e is a self-contained, control unit. Because of this design, users have the ability to connect additional devices including; one speed encoder, one photocell and one serial interface to each CPU module installed in a R44e Controller.

The new quick-command panel permits users to see which messages are currently selected. This panel also permits execution of simple message changeovers, printhead flushing and other convenient tasks.

Now, a "build to suit" ink-jet printing solution is readily available--event to those with "custom" needs. The complete R44e Controller includes an optional built-in keyboard and display, key lock, 3 LAN cables, start plug, end plug and power cords. Users will also select from 1-4 CPU modules from the S.C.I. F.I. 3400 and DOD 5400 ink-jet systems.
