Bracketry
Bracketry is the structure that supports the controller, print system and other accessories.
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. Assembly instructions are included with parts kits.

Section 3: System Components
Marksman Matrix & Elite
2465-623 User Manual Rev E Page 7
Photosensor
The photosensor is both a light source and a sensor. It emits light and detects the arrival of
a product when the product reflects the light source back to the sensor. The sensor then
sends a signal to the controller to start the printing cycle.
Encoder
The encoder assembly provides conveyor line
speed information to the controller. It also allows
automatic disabling of printing when the line
stops.
The Marksman© Matrix & Elite System uses a
5000 ppr open collector output encoder. The
wheel is sized to provide the correct timing
inputs to allow the print heads to print from 150
to 300 dpi.
Inks
Ink is supplied via 500 mL plastic containers. ScanTrue® II PLUS is a pigmented ink formu-
lated for use on porous substrates.
NOTE: Check the label on the Print Head for correct ink type.
NOTE: Inks are not miscible. Do NOT mix the inks.
Waste Bottle
The APS includes a Waste Collection Bottle mounted on the rear of the Print Head assem-
bly. This bottle must be changed when full to prevent improper operation of the system.
Instructions for waste disposal are on the collection bottle.

Section 4: Installation
The figure below illustrates a typical conveyor-mounted installation. (Cables are not
shown.)
Materials Required for Installation
You will need the following items:
• Lint-free wipes
• Safety goggles
•Level
• Tape measure
Use appropriate safety equipment and procedures. Leave print heads in their shipping car-
tons until all bracketry is in place and tightened down.

System Installation Overview
NOTE: The following steps give an overview of the procedure to properly install the Marks-
man© Matrix or Elite print system. Refer to the appropriate section for details.
1. Carefully plan the mounting location of the equipment. Keep in mind bracketry hard-
ware location and printer equipment size.
2. Remove equipment from packaging.
3. Assemble all bracketry to the floor, conveyor, or other bracketry per bracketry installa-
tion section.
4. Mount the print system to its appropriate bracketry. Do not connect to power outlet.
5. Assemble the optional retracting bracket to each print head, if applicable.
6. Mount the print head(s) to their appropriate bracketry and in the approximate location
relative to the carton.
7. Mount the photosensor, optional bracketry, and optional encoder per procedure.
CAUTION: Remove the print head Ship Cap prior to operating the Print Heads.
Installing Bracketry
This section shows controller bracketry mounted to a conveyor. This is the most common
mounting method, and the most stable, as all bracketry is bolted directly to the conveyor.
Detailed assembly instructions are included with the parts kit.
Other mounting options, including parts kit numbers, are listed in Section 3, System Com-
ponents.
Corner brackets are attached to aluminum bars as shown.

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.
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 Section 3, System Components 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: The ProSeries print heads work on gravity and capillary ink feed, internal in the
print head. The head must be mounted in a level position from front to back to prevent leak-
age.

Setting Up the Print Head
The Matrix/Classic Series print heads are mounted using the 10-32 tapped holes on the
right or left side of the Ink System bottom case. The print head angle can be set between 0°
and 90°.
To adjust the head to its correct angle:
1. Loosen the two set screws (1/8" hex head) on the print head side of the head mount.
2. Rotate the head to the desired angle.
3. Secure the set screws.
Mounting the Photosensor
The product detect Photocell can be mounted on either side of the print head, depending
on the direction of print. Remove the plugs or set screws (3/32" hex head) in the photocell
mounting holes, then attach the Photocell Mounting Bracket with the 10-32 x 1/2" screws
provided with the bracket.

Ship Caps
CAUTION: Do not operate APS Print Heads with the Print Head Ship Cap installed! Oper-
ating a closed system can cause a siphoning effect which can drain the ink supply.

Loosen the two thumbscrews
and remove the Ship Cap.
(See illustration at right.)
NOTE: If you place the Print Head Ship Cap on a hot print head and do not fasten it
securely, the print head will weep ink until the head has cooled down.
NOTE: Ink may accumulate behind the ship cap during shipping.

Remove the Reservoir
Ship Cap and Install
the Ink Bottle. Save
caps in a zip-lock bag
for future use.
CAUTION: Do not
over-tighten the ink
bottle when screwing
into the Reservoir.
Over-tightening will
damage the Reservoir.
The Encoder
The encoder uses a wheel
that rolls against the con-
veyor line to track the speed.
It sends a signal to the con-
troller, which makes adjust-
ments for reported changes in
the line speed.
It is not necessary to install
the encoder immediately adja-
cent to the print heads. It is
more important to place it
where it will accurately mea-
sure the speed of the con-
veyor. Install it in contact with
the conveyor, or with a wheel
or roller moving the same
speed as the conveyor.
The encoder's mounting
bracket is spring-loaded.
Adjust the spring collar to
ensure that the encoder main-
tains stable contact with the
conveyor.
CAUTION: Do not jam the encoder wheel against the surface of the conveyor. A radial
force of over 40 lbs. will reduce the life of the bearings.
