Code 128 and GS1

Posted by David Don on July 26, 2010 at 9:31am 0 Comments

Many industry groups are moving towards standards based on GS1 and the code 128 barcode symbology. RSi products make it easy to implement these standards by allowing the printer to strip away spaces and parenthesis from the barcode but allowing them to appear in the human readable. In addition, we can insert special characters required by the standards, i.e. FNC1, FNC2, FNC3, and FNC4. Instread of having to make separate objects for the barcode and the human readable, we're able to use one… Continue

Multiple Languages? ¡Ningún problema!

Posted by Eric Patterson on June 7, 2010 at 4:30pm 0 Comments

More and more products are exported or sold locally with multiple language requirements. To meet the need for multilingual messaging RSI MVP systems can come with Arial Unicode MS font installed.



Arial Unicode MS is used to provide default language support for many non-Latin languages & scripts, including Arabic, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi (Devanagari) and other Indic languages. Arial Unicode also includes CJK support (Chinese, Japanese, Korean). Using this… Continue

Barcode Specifications: Information and Barcode Symbologies

Posted by David Don on June 4, 2010 at 9:30am 0 Comments

When given a barcode specification there are 2 parts to this: the information and the barcode symbology to use. For example lets look at shipping container codes: The EAN/UCC-14, also called SCC-14, DUN-14 or U.P.C. Shipping Container C (all the same specification). For this specification the first digit is the package identifier, digits 2-3 is the UPS /EAN coutnry prefix,digits 4-8 is the manufacturers code, digits 9-13 is the item identification number, and the last digit is the check…

NIR Dryers

Posted by Mike Butzkies on April 29, 2010 at 1:00am 2 Comments

Many have asked what are NIR dryers and how do they benefit me? NIR dryers use infrared lamps operating at a slightly longer wavelength than traditional halogen lights, but shorter than previous infrared dryers. These lamps have greater power density than traditional short wave Infrared lamps. In addition, NIR lamps tend to cause less damage to the substrate even at higher power density. Black Inks absorb all infrared frequencies while white paper substrates…

GS-128 Barcode Character Set C

Posted by David Don on April 28, 2010 at 1:30am 2 Comments

There are 3 character sets for the GS-128: A, B, or C. Character set's A and B contain both alpha and numeric data while character set C is generally numeric. Character set A contains mostly uppercase alphas while character set B is mostly lower case alphas. Character set C is unique in that it is not only numeric but a set of numeric pairs. For example 0123 would be broken up into 2 pairs: 01 and 23. Why do this? Compression. If we had to use sets A or B, there would be 4 barcode components…

Industrial Inkjets - Purging and Cleaning

Posted by David Don on April 20, 2010 at 3:57am 0 Comments

When doing an ink calculation with piezobased inkjets, one overlooked factor is the amount of ink used in purging and cleaning. All piezo based inkjets require purging and cleaning depending upon the environments they operate in, e.g. dusty, low humdidity, etc. There are "estimates' out there that range from 5-25% of ink consumed is lost during such procedures.

The new videojet hi-res coders have a recapture system that reclaims the ink through filters. The drawback to this is…

Industrial Inkjets - Running a Single Inkjet on Multiple Lines

Posted by David Don on April 14, 2010 at 8:00am 0 Comments

In several instances, customers have a main trunk line where branch lines feed cases from diffrent production centers. Each case is identified based on which branch it originated from. Generally, there is a barcode that correlates to a particular SKU, though sometimes the production system actually will keep track of the cases. In any case, the RSI MVP Casejet is being used to code these cases based on a step process:

1. Scan or get the information for the particular case.…

Industrial Inkjet Printers on Conveyors - Static Discharge

Posted by David Don on April 7, 2010 at 7:00pm 0 Comments

It is very common to have a static charge generated on conveyors due to conveyor belts running along the surface of the supporting conveyor in addition to the belt rolling over the input and output rollers. This charge is cumulative in nature and will eventually need to bleed off. These discharges result in harmful eletromagnetic pulses which affect most digital electronic equipment including inkjet printers. In addition, dust and other debris are polarized and tend accumlate on metallic…
