The Model 4040 ink-jet printer has a Windows-based controller that makes selecting text, graphics, logos, bar codes and 2D codes for print easy. Producing true 1803200 resolution with ANSI-grade readability, it's capable of printing most fonts and alphabets up to 71 mm high, with a single head. It can drive up to four printheads for large messages, or simultaneously print on multiple sides of cases. Creating and editing messages is facilitated by a WYSIWYG display and a wide VGA screen. The printer features a choice of RS-232, 422 and 485 communication ports, as well as Ethernet and USB ports. A standalone floorstand eases integration onto existing production lines. Maintenance requirements are said to be minimal, with easy nozzle priming and cleaning.
