Alphanumeric is a term for letter or number characters.

ASCII is an abbreviation for American Standard Coding for Information Interchange.

BFT is an abbreviation for Ball Fall Time. This is the time taken for the ball in the viscometer to descend through the sample of ink in the viscometer tube.

BUP is an abbreviation for a Break up point that is below the nozzle plate and within a charge electrode, where jet breaks into drops.

C & M is an abbreviation for Coding & Marking.

CIJ is the short form for Continuous inkjet. This kind of printing is primarly used for coding and marking of products.

In this technology a pump directs fluid from a reservoir tank to one or more small nozzles which eject a continuous stream of drops at high frequency. The drops pass through a set of electrodes which impart a charge onto each drop. The charged drops then pass a deflection plate which uses an field to deflect the drops which should be printed. Undeflected drops will be collected and returned for re-use. The high drop ejection frequency of CIJ gives a capability for very high speed printing and is suitable for applications such as date coding on beverage cans, cable or packaging.

A Compact Flash is a memory card used to store vital printer information. It is located on the SBC| .

Date coding is the marking of each product after production with a date. Every product produced on site has a batch and date code which allows each ingredient or part to be traced back to origin and makes each product fully traceable. Date coding is used in each branches from the pharma industry, food industry, automotive industry, electronic industry, cable industry to cosmetic industry and beverage industry. This can be either the date of manufacture or expiration, the Best Before date, the Sell-By date or the Use-By date. This dates serve the customer and the producer. The customer gets security by dates like best before, use-by or sell-by especially of perishable goods like food or cosmetics. The date Best Before is a recommendation for best flavor or quality. The date Use-By is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality and the Sell-By date tells the store how long to display the product for sale, the customer should buy it before the end of this date. The manufacturer knows by the date coding in which shift the product was produced. Therewith a complete traceability of the product is warranted. Without date coding: Date coding of products is not required in generally although dating of some foods is required by more than 20 states of the USA, there are areas of the USA where much of the food supply has some type of open date and other areas where almost no food is dated. In such cases a secure traceability is not given and also for the customer it is difficult to identify if the product is fresh and can be used. Therefore especially in the food industry date coding is very important otherwise it could lead to serious health damages for example by germs or mold. Global standards Product dating is not worldwide generally required by Federal regulations and there is no uniform or universally accepted system on date coding

Highspeed Printers are famous for their high performance at heavy duty conditions. They are applied in such cases, where large numbers of items must be imprinted at a very high speed. They are integrated in the conveyor lines and have to adapt to the high speed of the manufacturing machines.

Industrial Inkjet Marking is used for most different applications in the industry. The suitable technology for these special applications is the Drop-on-Demand (DOD) and Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) technology. These systems meet specific requirements for product marking in different industries like aerospace, automotive, electronics, food, medical and packaging industries. Industrial Inkjet marking includes printing best before dates on eggs, packaging or for example on cables.
