Printing System
(Read-Write System)
The IPS 2000 CIPS
integrates barcode, magnetic stripe and OCR technologies to read a code or
personalized reference information from a product, search a data-base for
the corresponding variable information and then print that information on
the product with an inkjet printer. The control system can interface with a
variety of inkjet printers from different manufacturers. The CIPS can also
be configured to operate as a personalization system. In this configuration,
the input data can be sourced from a magnetic tape or optical disk and the
associated information printed by an inkjet printer and/or magnetic stripe
encoder.
The CIPS is a dynamic system
that can configured to suit a wide range of applications and production
requirements. Should the standard features not meet the specific
requirements of the application, the system, as an option, can be customized
to meet the most demanding production needs.
