Are you looking for reliable high-performance industrial coding? Now, DSI introduces Linx 9900 Series to help manufacturers tackle tough coding tasks more reliably, flexibly and controllably.
This industrial production-ready range offers advanced printhead technology, battery powered operation, 10″ touchscreen, inspection options and connectivity features that support efficient production. Let’s explore the recommended models and features!
DSI Introduces Linx 9900 Series CIJ Printers for High-Performance Industrial Coding
For manufacturers running fast production lines coding equipment has to do more than print clearly: It must reduce avoidable stoppages, simplify daily operation and support repeatable code quality.
You can get everything you want with the Linx 9900 Series. This series presents the range as an evolution of Linx CIJ technology, dependable performance with features that maximise uptime and ease coding.
Two Models for Different Production Requirements
DSI introduces Linx 9900 Series in different models, including 9920 and 9940 for higher-capability, higher-speed applications. Both can print up to six lines but their strengths depend on line speed and coding requirements. The summary is in this table:
| Model | Print Capability | Production Focus | Key Advantage |
| Linx 9920 | Up to 6 lines | High-throughput industrial coding | Increased print capability with reduced maintenance |
| Linx 9940 | Up to 6 lines | Faster, demanding applications | Super-fast tower print up to 10 m/s |
But which one is best depends on how much info you print and how fast products move through the line. Here’s a more detailed comparison:
-
Linx 9920
The Linx 9920 is for production environments where more coding capacity than can be accommodated is required without making operation unnecessarily complex.
It supports expiry dates, batch codes, serial numbers, GS1 Data Matrix, QR codes, barcodes, graphics, sequential numbering, metre marking and cable or extrusion coding.
-
Linx 9940
Meanwhile, the Linx 9940 is for faster lines that are more demanding. The print capability is similar, but can work faster.
With MK11 Midi Plus printhead super-fast tower print can reach 10 m/s so it’s suitable for cable extrusion and other high speed applications.
Technology Designed to Maximise Uptime
DSI introduces Linx 9900 Series with two key technologies to help maximising your uptime, including:
-
AutoFlush®
The AutoFlush® technology cleans the printhead during start and stop operations to reduce nozzle blockage risk.
Sealed critical components, configurable cleaning reminders and temperature-aware jet-speed control ensure more consistent operation.
-
PrintProtect®
Linx PrintProtect® also has battery backup. If power is lost suddenly, printing can continue for up to three minutes; if the power does not come back then the printer runs a full shutdown routine.
The battery can also support line moves for up to nine minutes without having to restart the printer completely.
Simplifying Changeovers and Operator Activities
Fast changeovers are easier when operators don’t have to rebuild settings manually. Linx QuickSwitch® changes messages from production devices or barcode scanners, where up to 50 line settings can be stored for repeatable setup.
Features like product-picture selection and Linx Message Studio® also simplify message selection and editing as well.
Moreover, DSI introduces Linx 9900 Series with a 10 inch full colour touchscreen, guided maintenance wizards, password protected functions, multilingual selection and prompted fields to reduce data-entry mistakes.
Supporting Automated Code Inspection and Production Integration
The optional Linx Iris® vision system can check for codes present, readable, positioned and quality from the printer interface. If a code fails an alarm or line stop can be initiated to help eliminate rework and manual inspection.
For integration the series supports REST, Extended QuickSwitch, RCI, Ethernet, USB, vision-camera connections and other interfaces. Linx PrinterNet® also provides remote production and printer-health monitoring.
Reduced Maintenance and Operating Requirements
DSI introduces Linx 9900 Series with features that control the operating requirements over printer life cycle.
For example, Optional Active Airflow Control can reduce solvent consumption by up to 42%, while the optional 50 micron printhead reduces ink use by up to 48%.
And, the EasiChange® service module can be serviced very fast in about 30 minutes (where some configurations have service intervals of up to 24 months).
Solutions for a Wide Range of Industries
Both the 9920 and 9940 can be used for food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, FMCG contract packing electronics, automotive components cable and extrusion and other high throughput operations.
Linx also has inks for paper card metal glass rigid plastics flexible plastics process specific applications security marking.
This flexibility matters when one facility produces several packaging formats because the coding system can be configured around different substrates production speeds code formats rather than one application.
DSI Provides Complete Coding and Marking Support
At DSI we don’t just mean speed. Substrate, code content, line environment integration needs cleaning routine, future production plans all should come into the selection process.
We can also help you consider printer placement printhead configuration ink choice connectivity so coding solution fits the wider production process. You can see a complete list of continuous inkjet printers here to explore other CIJ options as well.
Choosing the Right Linx 9900 Series for Your Production Line
Our final takeaway is, the Linx 9920 is a good fit when you need higher print capability for different industrial applications, while the Linx 9940 is better suited to fast lines and high-speed coding (specialized).
It’s because our team at DSI introduces Linx 9900 Series as a flexible platform that helps manufacturers balance print performance, uptime, operator simplicity, integration and long term operating needs.
