The new graphic controller displays a full preview of a message before printing. What you see is what you get! (WYSIWYG). Functions are easily accessed via drop down menus, simplifying programming and the user interface. The system is therefore very user friendly and easy to use.

Main features include:-

Large message library and long logos as standard. 100 characters per line, 128Kb non-volatile RAM. Bold increased up to 50 for super-high contrast print. 600 raster logo capacity.

Seven font combination modes with 7, 9,14 and 32 dot fonts relating to 1 to 4 lines of text.

Barcodes. The most commonly used industrial barcodes are provided including human readable characters.

Three levels of Access Protection are provided to ensure that message and set-up data cannot be accidentally altered.

Ink use calculator software allowing an operator to estimate the number of prints per ink bottle for a particular message. A cost per print and effective running costs can then be estimated.

Multi-language support (English, German, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian and French as standard).

Sample maker software as standard. The software calculates the print parameters for you. Print samples and demonstrations are therefore far easier, quicker and accurate in conjunction with an ATD sample maker.

The graphic controller is fully compatible with all ATD printheads and therefore a standard controller can be swapped for a new graphic controller very easily. A standard controller however cannot be modified into a graphic controller. ATD will continue to supply the standard controller alongside the new graphic controller. The controller features automated print set-up for 12, 24, 36 or 48mm print heights.
