2465-623 User Manual Rev F Page 4
Step 1: Installing Bracketry
Bracketry is the structure that supports the controller, print system and other accessories.
Carefully plan the mounting location of the equipment. Keep in mind bracketry hardware
location and printer equipment size. Assemble all bracketry to the floor, conveyor, or other
bracketry.
This manual details instructions for mounting all system components to a conveyor. Other
mounting options for the controller and print system include the floor mount and the retract-
ing bracket (see “Appendix C: Part Numbers” on page 83). Assembly instructions are
included with mount kits.
Corner brackets are attached to aluminum bars as shown.

Step 2: Mounting the Print System
Unpack the print head just before mounting to the bracketry.
Attach the print head to the bracketry with a print head mounting bracket. Do not connect to
power outlet.
The print head must be mounted in close proximity to the product. To maintain consistent
print, the head should be mounted no more than 1/8" from the substrate. An optional
retracting bracket is available to mount the head and control the distance from the head to
the substrate. The retracting bracket allows the head to bump the product and retract as
required to maintain a consistent throw distance. (See “System” on page 83 for bracketry
options.)
NOTE: Install optional retracting bracket kit on the print head prior to mounting the print
head to the conveyor bracket.
It may be necessary to vertically adjust each bracket's horizontal bar later to fine-tune mes-
sage placement. This is especially true when using multiple print heads, as message lines
will need to be synchronized with each other.
NOTE: When adjusting the horizontal bar or print head mounting bracket, always support
the print head with your hand to keep it from falling forward onto the conveyor.
NOTE: ProSeries print heads are supplied ink via capillary forces. Print heads must be
mounted in a level position from front to back to prevent leakage and provide proper ink
flow.
