How the Linx 9000 Series\u00a0<\/strong>
makes\u00a0product\u00a0changeovers\u00a0one\u00a0less\u00a0<\/strong>
thing to\u00a0worry\u00a0about<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For busy production managers, there\u2019s a certain amount of pressure when changing the SKUs on the production line or when moving your printer from line to line.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With every changeover comes the risk of lost production time, message set up errors, and a general disruption which you could do without. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Linx 9000 Series is designed to maximise changeover efficiency, helping you move from one job to the next quickly, easily, and without unnecessary stoppages \u2013 making printing one less thing to worry about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faster changeovers, without the risk of errors<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One challenge with changeover is getting the right message onto the right product quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Linx 9000 Series range of printers incorporates Linx QuickSwitch\u00ae<\/sup> so messages can be changed in real time using external production devices. This saves time and reduces the likelihood of the wrong message ending up on the products coming down the line \u2013 so no rework and no risk of costly fines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a barcode scanner can send the scanned data to the printer to select a message to print, or to change the contents of the message being printed. \u202fA check weigher can send the weight of a product to the printer so that the actual weights can be printed on every pack. \u202fAnother device such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) can send commands to start and stop the printer, and trigger prints, so that the printer is synchronised with other equipment on the production line. \u202fAnd crucially, all of this can happen in real-time, live production environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control messages without leaving your desk<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Product changeovers often require you to stop what you\u2019re doing, walk to the printer, and manually update messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Linx Message Studio\u2122\u00a0messages can be created\u00a0and\u00a0edited\u00a0quickly and easily then\u00a0sent\u00a0directly from a PC\u00a0to the printer\u00a0in seconds\u00a0via\u00a0the network or\u00a0using a\u00a0USB\u00a0drive.\u00a0
There\u2019s no need to interrupt production or rely on manual updates at the printer, ensuring\u00a0a faster response to product changes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid using the wrong code<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Selecting the wrong message during a product changeover can lead to costly mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Linx 9000 Series removes that risk with\u00a0a useful feature called\u00a0\u2018Product Picture\u00a0Select\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operators simply choose the correct product using an easily recognisable image \u2013 there\u2019s no need to remember any code requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat changeovers in seconds<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many production lines run the same jobs again and again. Some printers still require the line settings for each message to be set up every time regardless of whether or not the message has been used with the same line settings previously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With stored line settings, <\/strong>the Linx 9000 Series allows up to 50 previously used line settings to be saved and re-selected easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ensures a rapid, repeatable setup meaning that every changeover is as efficient as the last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move between lines without stopping production<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving a printer from line to line is another hidden source of downtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, moving a printer means shutting it down, relocating it, and waiting for it to restart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Linx PrintProtect\u00ae<\/sup> downtime is significantly reduced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
