Hi Elfer!

What are you needing to do with VideoJet printer????

Where I work there is an integration with Allen Bradley 5000 base, and some RTA gateways. System can change between several pre-configured messages according with current recipe, and send product code through EXTERNAL tag. Also system knows VideoJet status.

If it's what you need, I can send you some snippets.

Saludos!

Not to be a hater but VideoJet sucks. MarkimImaje is the way to go. very easy to set up. Next time you need a new coder you should look into them.

Hi Elfer Mx,

I was working on integration for videojet printers last year but eventually had to give up.

I was able to successfully load new messages, start/stop printing and even set a static text that would print contineously. I wasnt however able to embed dates/times from the printer itself into the message being printed.

One important reason why I didnt continue was the fact that the printer would fail to print effectively if the message was updated while a print was in progress. So as a result I saw partial/cut code on multiple products due to remote message updates. This is possibly due to poor handling of comm handling in videojet's software. I also noticed certain printers stopped responding due to repeated opening/closing of socket connections. This meant the printer firmware was terrible at resource/memory management.

With all that I didnt continue and put in a strategy to replace the printers with printers that handle communications well(such as Linx or Markem Imaje)

Still if you are interested in the source code or if you want to try out something different I can share.

Regards,
Nouman
