Allen Coding will show a wide range of high performance marking and coding systems, including its XL-Series of low-cost thermal transfer coders for emerging markets and entry-level variable print applications.

The automatic ARF-1 feeder is capable of handling cartons or sleeves up to a maximum of 375 x 400mm and will be featured on the stand with an Hitachi RX-S continuous ink jet coder. Other equipment on display will include the Icon laser coder and NGT2+ thermal transfer printer.

As well as a two-component, space-saving design, the XL-Series offers several new features, including the iView colour touch screen with simple-to-use graphical user interface and the multi-tasking a:touch module for multi-printer operation, Ethernet and USB connectivity, and duel processors (one for communication and one for printing) to ensure high speed performance.

Featuring a robust, industrial design and up to 600m ribbon capacity for extended use with minimal downtime, Allen's XL-Series provides reliable and accurate printing of barcodes, sell-by dates, batch numbers, prices, source codes and other text and graphics, including Julian date and 2-D Datamatrix codes, at speeds up to 450 prints a minute at 5mm print height.
