The board allows the use of APS’s patented solvent based ink for non-porous substrates as well as water based ink. A state-of-the-art RTOS operating system allows printing of dynamic 2D codes and text for upcoming track and trace and mass serialization mandates. The board can communicate with all vision system platforms via error checking interface protocol. The system is designed so that the Inkjet keyboard can be displayed directly on the host’s machines HMI/GUI via Ethernet Active X control.
