Interface Microscan Velocity to Blackware Inkjet Control Software

Interface Microscan Velocity to Blackware Inkjet Control Software.
We recently finished integrating a Microscan Quadrus Mini Velocity with Blackware's Control Software for Industrial Inkjet Printers.

Their system uses an encoder to track the cam revolutions and documents on an envelop stuffer. It sends a 24 volt pulse to the Velocity and the Velocity reads the datamatrix code or IMB and sends the data to their Controller via RS422 and onto a PC that matches the data to an address in a database.

Blackware can communicate to complex high speed inkjet printers like Scitex. We built some custom cabling for the RS422 and to receive a 24volt trigger signal. A few key reader settings were also critical. For more info, please contact us
