EV II is the second High Resolution Inkjet Printer in the Evolution series. It features a complete software package, a backlit WYSIWYG display, up to four lines of print and eight barcode symbols as standard.

EV II is complete and ready to install right out of the box. The system includes the mounting bracketry, a hand held controller with tactile keypad for message entry and the printhead module with internal product sensor.

The EV II is powered with inkjet technology by Hewlett Packard. This combination gives you the benefits of an affordable, compact, and efficient design coupled with the reliability of printhead technology by Hewlett Packard.

Adding another printhead is as simple as sliding it on. Each printhead module is manufactured with a dovetail slot on one side and a dovetail slide on the other. You can attach up to three additional printheads on a single bracket by inserting the slide on one into the slot on the other. A small RS 485 data cable is then used to connect the modules. This allows the hand held controller to network all of the printheads on the production line.

EV II is supplied with a built-in font style. Optional alternative fonts are available and can be downloaded into the printhead modules through flash card media Logos are optional, and up to 3 can be downloaded into the message via the flash card.
Logos are optional and up to 3 can be downloaded RHO the message via the data flash card.

EV II delivers bold, highly legible and fully formed characters in a print resolution of 300 dpi at production line speeds of up to 61 meters per minute.

Print a one line message in 12.7mm characters, two lines of text in 5.5mm high characters, three lines of 3.2mm or four lines of 2.4mm. All four character heights are selectable through the font key on the hand held controller.

Built into the cartridge is a 42 cc ink supply. Once the ink in the cartridge is depleted, it can be taken out disposed off and a new ink cartridge inserted in just minutes.

A typical powered conveyor or case taper corrugated cartons can sometimes come through skewed or off center. The horizontal adjusting rod that holds the printhead module has been designed with a breakaway feature that moves the printhead out of harms way should the carton come in contact with it. A detent in the assembly allows you to securely snap the printhead back into position after the misaligned carton has passed.

The hand held controller has the capability of controlling up to 32 individual printhead modules through the use of an RS 485 data cable. A small data cable is used to connect the modules on the same production line while a longer cable connects them to the next production line in the manufacturing area. The printhead modules have a discreet address which is used to identify them for message entry functions.
Complete PC control of the EV II network through our EVOLUTION-NET software is available as an option.
