“Another design improvement that is very good for us is the ability to upload new image files to the printers using a data key,” says Martin’s vice president of operations Glenn Zearfoss.
Also known as a memory stick or jump drive, a data key is a portable data-carrying device that plugs into a USB port. It carries image files used for new set-ups that aren’t preprogrammed into the printer’s database. Martin’s small and compact operations don’t warrant a printer network that larger companies may have, which can otherwise make updating the printers’ onboard files problematic. Although the Videojet printers can be networked, Zearfoss says that was overkill for them.
