Printer description

Combined with the marking software M-Print® PRO, the ink-jet printer PrintJet

ADVANCED is a marking system for MultiCards and MetalliCards.

This system can be used for the individual marking of equipment quickly and conveniently. The PrintJet ADVANCED uses a brilliant permanentlyreadable printing process to print MultiCardformatted markers for switching devices, machines, terminal blocks, cables, wires, and valves. A secure and permanent label is ensured through high-level resistance to smearing and scratching, UV-stability, and the high printing resolution for all markers. The PrintJet ADVANCED allows you to print very small

fonts. Even the smallest characters are easy to read, permitting you to increase the markers' information density.

The MultiCards can be fed individually or inserted as stack (of up to 30 MultiCards) into the loader.

MetalliCards should only be inserted individually. Stack processing is not intended for MetalliCards. The MetalliCard is inserted into an inlay for processing.

The MultiCard fed into the printing unit is printed with a thermally-hardened ink and then transferred to a fixation unit.

In the fixation unit, the ink is then hardened with a special heat radiator. The duration of this process is varies for MultiCards and MetalliCards.

Finally, the MultiCard/MetalliCard is fed out of the PrintJet ADVANCED onto the output rail and can be removed.

The MultiCard/MetalliCard can be used immediately. Please note that the MultiCards and MetalliCards become hot due to the fixation process. If necessary, let them cool down before removing them from the output rail.

The PrintJet ADVANCED should not be switched off. If the PrintJet ADVANCED is not used, it automatically goes into standby/energy-saving mode. This optimizes the cleaning cycles and thus increases the availability of the printer.

Printer description

3.2MultiCards and MetalliCards

MultiCards made from plastic and MetalliCards made from aluminum or stainless steel can be printed with the PrintJet ADVANCED printer.

The marking system, consisting of the PrintJet ADVANCED printer and the M-Print® PRO software, has been designed by Weidmüller for MultiCards or MetalliCards.

Printer description

MultiCards can be halved. To receive a half MultiCard, bend the complete MultiCard in the middle and break in half.

Complete and half MultiCards should not be mixed in a stack.

It is, however, possible to process different MultiCard types in a stack, e.g. DEK 5/5 and SM 27/27.
