One of two types of cable is supplied. The cables have the same specification but the colours
of the wires are different. The wire colours in the cable are as follows.
WARNING: THIS PRINTER MUST BE EARTHED/GROUNDED.
WARNING: THE PRINTER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY WIRED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED AND
COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN. LINX CANNOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY INJURY TO
PERSONNEL OR DAMAGE TO MACHINERY CAUSED BY INCORRECT OR FAULTY WIRING.
1.7 Fit the printhead to the production line
You can set the printhead at any angle. Use a Linx printhead bracket to hold the printhead
correctly and prevent vibration—a number of bracket types are available.
The distance between the end of the printhead and the product is the ‘throw distance’. To
make sure that the print quality is good, set the throw distance to the recommended
distance shown in the table below.

1.7.1 Printhead conduit
The printer, conduit, and printhead are supplied as a unit. Follow these guidelines for the
conduit:
•Do not bend the conduit at a sharp angle. The minimum radius for the conduit is
75 mm for static operation and 150 mm for dynamic applications (traversing).
•Make sure that the conduit has enough support.
•Make sure that you have access to the printhead for maintenance.
•Make sure that when the machinery guards are closed, the guards do not damage the
conduit.
•Make sure that the conduit does not touch any sharp edges.
•For dynamic applications (traversing), Linx recommends that you use a 4-metre
conduit. Leave a loop in the conduit to absorb the movement as shown below.

2 Product sensor setup
The Linx 5900 and 7900 printers can use a product sensor to detect the presence of the
product. Normally, the message is printed when the printer receives a trigger signal from
the product sensor.
Figure 5. Product sensor setup
Normally, the product passes the product sensor first, then the printhead. The distance
between the printhead and the product sensor must be less than the distance between the
products.
Figure 5 shows the product sensor (A) and the printhead (B). The arrow shows the direction
of movement of the product along the production line.
The Print Delay parameter controls the distance between the product sensor and the
printed message. For information on how to adjust the Print Delay, see the Linx 5900 & 7900
Quick Start Guide.
The following product sensor types are available from Linx:
•Fibre optic control unit, 5 m D-type
•Retro-reflective light beam, 5 m D-type
•Inductive switch, 5 m D-type
•Reflection light beam scanner, 5 m D-type
•Background suppression sensor, 5 m D-type
•Colour registration mark scanner, 5 m D-type

2.1 Product Sensor connection
You must use a 9-pin, D-type connector to connect the product sensor to the printer. The
following table describes the function of each pin.
Connect the screen of the product sensor cable to the shell of the connector. The connector
shell must connect to the printer chassis. Do not connect the screen to 0 volts.
To maintain the IP65 rating of the 7900 printer, the connector of the product sensor must
have an IP65 rating. Linx product sensors have a D-type connector that has an IP67 rating.
CAUTION: Use only Linx-approved accessories. The EMC performance of the printer can
change if you use other product sensors and cables.

3 Line speed detection setup
Linx recommends that you use a shaft encoder or dual trigger to detect the line speed on
production lines where the speed can change. If your system has a fixed line speed, you can
go to the next section.
The shaft encoder generates a pulse for a fixed distance of product movement. The pulses
enable the printer to print at a constant width if the line speed changes.
For information about setting the line speed, see How To Change the System Setup.
Normally the shaft encoder is attached to a drive shaft on the production line. Install the
shaft encoder in the best position to follow the movement of the products.
Linx offers the following range of shaft encoders for line speed detection:
•2500 pulses per revolution (p.p.r.)
•5000 p.p.r.
•10000 p.p.r.
Each shaft encoder has a 5-metre cable fitted with a 9-pin D-type connector.
To measure the line speed, you can connect the shaft encoder to a drive shaft on the line, or
to an encoder wheel. Linx provides the following range of encoder wheels:
•500 mm circumference
•333 mm circumference
•304.8 mm (1 foot) circumference
•200 mm circumference
•60 mm circumference

3.1 Shaft encoder connection
You must use a 9-pin, D-type connector to connect the shaft encoder to the printer. The
following table describes the function of each pin.
Connect the screen of the shaft encoder cable to the shell of the connector. The connector
shell must connect to the printer chassis. Do not connect the screen to 0 volts.
To maintain the IP65 rating of the 7900 printer, the connector of the shaft encoder must have
an IP65 rating. Linx shaft encoders have a D-type connector that has an IP67 rating.
CAUTION: Use only Linx-approved accessories. The EMC performance of the printer can
change if you use other shaft encoders and cables.
3.1.1 Select the shaft encoder, encoder wheel, and Print Width
If you use a shaft encoder, you must perform the following calculations to calculate the
number of pulses per millimetre and the drop pitch. The calculations require a series of
steps as shown below:
1Define the Required Raster Pitch.
2Select the shaft encoder, the encoder wheel, and the Pitch Factor to get a raster pitch
that approximately equals the correct pitch.
3Make sure that the calculated performance is acceptable (message length and print
speed).
4Use the Pitch Factor to calculate the number of encoder pulses per millimetre. Enter
this value into the Speed page (Line Setup > Speed).
Calculate the raster pitch and use this value for the Print Width parameter (Print
Settings > Print Width).
5Check the print samples for performance.
If you do not follow these calculation steps, your messages are not printed at the required
size. The spaces between the rasters are too small or too large.

3.1.2 Example calculation
The calculation below uses the following example:
•The message is a 16 Linear Quality Message Type.
•The printer has an Ultima 62 µm printhead, which requires 132 rasters for this message.
•The Print area is 50 mm long.
Step 1: Define the required Raster Pitch
To get the best print quality a 1:1 aspect ratio is needed—the vertical pitch (drop spacing)
must equal the horizontal pitch. This drop pitch is the ‘Ideal Raster Pitch’. The Ideal Raster
Pitch depends on the printhead type and the message type.
The effect of raster pitch is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Raster Pitch
In Figure 8 (a) the letter ‘H’ is printed at the Ideal Raster Pitch—the horizontal spacing (X1)
is equal to the vertical spacing (Y). In Figure 8 (b), the raster pitch is larger than the Ideal
Raster Pitch—the horizontal spacing (X2) is larger than the vertical spacing (Y).
The section ‘Ideal Raster Pitch tables’ on page 18 contains tables that show the following
parameters for each combination of printhead and message type:
•Character matrices (character width)
•Ideal Raster Pitch (mm)
•Maximum raster rate (kHz)
•Maximum line speed for the ideal raster pitch
If the raster pitch in your application does not equal the Ideal Raster Pitch, you can adjust
the Print Height setting to make the aspect ratio 1:1.
NOTE: Not all message types listed in the Ideal Raster Pitch tables are available on the 5900
printer.

How To Install and Set Up the 5900 &
7900 Printer
Linx 5900 & 7900
To calculate the required Raster Pitch
Use the formula:
where:
Printed length = the length of the printed message on the product. This length must
not be greater than the length of the area that is left clear for printing.
Number of Rasters in Message: Where all the characters in the font have the same
width, this value = Number of characters x Character width (rasters). If the
characters have different widths, you can use the Cursor Position value in the
Message Editor page to measure the printed length.
In this example, the length of the area that is available for the message is 50 mm and the
message contains 132 rasters. The calculation is as follows:
If the pitch is greater than this value, the message does not fit into the 50 mm print area.
The ideal raster pitch for the 16 Linear Quality Message Type and Ultima 62 µm is
0.353 mm (see the table on page 20). In this example, the space between the drops, in the
horizontal direction, is greater than the ideal raster pitch. This difference causes small
spaces between the drops.
NOTE: Before you purchase any components, consider other products that you plan to put
on the same line. Repeat the raster pitch calculations for other products as
necessary.
Step 2: Select the encoder, encoder wheel, and pitch factor
Each combination of encoder and encoder drive (gears or wheels) gives a different ‘encoder
pitch’. The encoder pitch is the distance that the product moves for each encoder output
pulse. The encoder pitch and the pitch factor (a whole number) are multiplied together to
give the actual raster pitch. This value must be as close as possible to the required raster
pitch.
The table below gives the encoder pitch for standard Linx encoders and wheels.
To calculate the encoder pitch for other gearing or drives, use the following:
Required Raster Pitch (mm) = Printed Length (mm)
Number of Rasters in Message
Required Raster Pitch (mm) = 50 mm = 0.378 mm
132
Encoder Pitch = Encoder wheel circumference

Linx 5900 & 7900
where:
Encoder wheel circumference = the distance that the product moves for one rotation
of the encoder. This value depends on the application. For example, the wheel
circumference can be 3.14 x roller diameter, or 3.14 x star-wheel diameter.
Figure 9. Encoder Pitch for standard Linx encoders and wheels
The encoder pitch is multiplied by a whole number (or pitch factor) to give the actual raster
pitch. Select an encoder and gearing to make the actual raster pitch close to the required
raster pitch.
Actual Raster Pitch (mm) = Encoder Pitch (mm) xPitch Factor
where the Pitch Factor is a whole number.
Select a combination of an encoder and gearing, calculate the encoder pitch, then multiply
this value by whole numbers to get the actual raster pitch. Repeat this process until you get
a value that is close to the required raster pitch.
Figure 10. Calculate the Pitch Factor
For each encoder pitch that you try, use the following formula to find the starting point for
the pitch factor calculation:
* This value is calculated to the nearest whole number.
Pitch Factor* = Required Pitch (mm)

In this example, the required raster pitch is 0.378 mm. You can use a standard Linx encoder
and wheel to try to match this value.
Figure 11. Calculate the Pitch Factor: example
The actual raster pitch in Try 3 is acceptable because the value is close to the required raster
pitch. Also the required raster pitch is the maximum. You can use a 5000 p.p.r. encoder and
a 200-millimetre wheel. The pitch factor is 9.
You can see that when the encoder p.p.r. is greater, the actual raster pitch is closer to the
required pitch. If the encoder p.p.r. is greater, you can adjust the required pitch, but the
encoder cost is higher and the maximum print speed can decrease.
Step 3: Check the calculated print performance
If there is any difference between the required raster pitch and the actual raster pitch, the
print performance can decrease. You must also consider the maximum frequency of the
encoder signal.
For this step, you must perform the following steps:
1Calculate the length of the printed message:
Number of Rasters (step 1) xActual Raster Pitch (step 2)
2Calculate the maximum print speed for the message type
Actual Raster Pitch (step 2) xRaster Rate* (kHz)
* The raster rate depends on the printhead type and the message type—see the
table on page 20.
To make sure that the print quality is acceptable, the maximum print speed must be
greater than the line speed. If necessary, select a message type that has a higher
raster rate.
3Calculate the maximum encoder speed:
Encoder Pitch (Figure 9) xMaximum Signal Frequency (kHz)
NOTE: The maximum signal frequency for Linx standard encoders is 80 kHz.
4Compare the maximum line speed with the maximum encoder speed.
If the maximum line speed is not less than the maximum encoder speed, repeat the
selection process.

The following table shows the maximum encoder speeds for standard Linx encoders and
wheels.
Figure 12. Maximum encoder speeds for standard Linx encoders and wheels
In this example, the actual raster pitch is 0.36 mm (step 2) and the number of rasters is 132
(step 1).
This result shows that the message fits into the target area of 50 mm.
For a 16 Linear Quality message type and an Ultima 62 µm printhead, the raster rate is
1.74 kHz (see the table on page 20).
The encoder/gearing that was selected has an encoder pitch of 0.040 mm (step 2), and a
maximum encoder frequency of 80 kHz.
This calculation shows that in this example the maximum print speed is not decreased by
the maximum encoder frequency.
