Do not breathe in solvent vapors
Due to their chemical composition, ink, cleaning agents and Viskoflex can
produce solvent vapors. These can be damaging to health in the long
term or in a high concentration. Please refer to the safety data sheet for
the fluid to find out the extent of the health hazard. This also contains
information on the necessary composition of personal protective
equipment for operating and maintenance staff. In case of doubt, please
contact your employers’ liability insurance association or your responsible
safety engineer. The solvent concentration during normal printing
operation is heavily dependent on the environment of the printer and the
application. You must always ensure sufficient ventilation; in case of
doubt use an approved, active extraction system. The necessity of an
extraction system depends on the individual case. The decision as to
whether an extraction system is required can be made on the basis of the
TLVs (threshold limit values). The permitted TLVs are provided in the
safety data sheet and must be checked by performing a measurement at
the location of the printer in the corresponding case.

6.8 Text entry

The REA JET SC 2.0 supports Unicode, both when entering texts on the control unit and when
transmitting data via the Ethernet interface.
The method for entering text is explained using the example of menu item [0]. Depending on the
font selected, the full scope of the approx. 65,000 Unicode characters can be used. For file names,
the characters are limited to the Basic Latin character set with 128 (ASCII) characters (without
uppercase letters and special characters).
When selecting a font, please note that a TrueType font cannot be scaled freely.
If the vertical resolution is too low, characteristics of the font (e.g. serifs) may be lost. For a low
vertical resolution, system fonts such as 7x5, 7F5, 10x10, 10F10, 15x10,15F10, 16x10 or 16F10
are recommended.
When overwriting variables (label objects with the ‘Variable’ attribute) from a host system via the
Ethernet interface, the characters must be encoded using UTF-8.

The content of the text field to be edited is displayed in element (3). The focus is initially on this
field. The cursor position (insertion mark) can be moved within the text field using the rotary knob
and the ► or ◄ cursor buttons.
Use ← to delete the character to the left of the insertion mark, and “DEL” to delete the character to
the right. Press “F2” (alternatively: the rotary knob or the “OK” key) to jump to the character table
(12). Here, you can select the character using the rotary knob and apply the highlighted character
to the field (3) by pressing the rotary knob or the “OK” key. Proceed in the same way for the
remaining characters you wish to enter. Numbers can also be entered directly using “0” to “9” keys
on the numeric keypad. You can exit the character table by pressing “F2” or “ESC”. Press “F1” to
simultaneously store the changed field value and leave the entry dialog.
It is possible to select a character set directly from the character table (12). To do this, press “F3”
and then use the rotary knob or the cursor buttons to select the desired code page and accept the
selection by pressing the rotary knob or the “OK” key. Regardless of the selection made, the “F4”
key can be used to return to the Basic Latin code page containing the letters of the Latin alphabet
(A, B, C, etc.) and the numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.).
To avoid having to search the extensive character set for the space bar, spaces can be entered

7.2 General menu navigation
To edit the device settings, first press the “Menu” button to open the main menu. It is useful to set
the language in the first step. Press the “7” key to select the language, or use the rotary knob to
navigate to the ‘Language selection’ menu item. Use the “▲” and “▼” keys to select the desired
language and confirm with “OK”. Exit the language selection by pressing “ESC”.
The diagnosis menu [8] is currently only available in English and German.
The rotary knob with button function is the central operating element of the REA JET SC 2.0. It can
be used in all menus for navigation, and the selection can be confirmed by pressing the knob.
Alternatively, you can also use the cursor buttons and “OK”. The menu number is displayed in the
upper left-hand corner of each dialog, e.g. 3-2-3. In this manual, these menu numbers are referred
to using square brackets. Experienced users can also open the relevant menus directly from the
main menu by entering the corresponding numbers. To open the menu shown in the example, you
need to press “Menu”, “3”, “2” [File selection] and “3” in sequence. You can exit the respective
menu level or entry dialog with “ESC”. This also applies to the main menu. When pressing “ESC”,
you will return to the basic screen. In case you have made any changes in the entry menus, you will
be prompted to confirm these changes if necessary.
You can select submenus or jump to an entry field by pressing the rotary knob or “OK”. Changes in
entry fields are confirmed in the same way. You can leave the entry field without saving the
changes by pressing “ESC”.
When pressing the “Alt” key, the cursor moves to the right in the column with the (dynamically
adjusted) icons for function buttons. When pressing “Alt” again, the cursor returns back to the
original area.
The desired function can be selected with “▲” and “▼”, and confirmed with “OK”. Press “ESC” to
return to the menu.
If “Alt” is used to move the cursor to the function key icons, the function of the information line
changes as well. If the cursor is hovering over a specific icon, the description of the icon is
displayed in the information line.

7.3 Saving during menu navigation
Changes must be saved when navigating through the device menu. The changes only take effect
after reassigning the job! Changed files (e.g. labels, installation settings, I/O configurations) can be
saved under the same or a changed/new name.
 Press “F4” to save the changes to a file of the same name.

 If a changed job is to be saved under a new name, the “Name”
entry must be changed in the current screen.
Example:
You can leave the submenu and return to the higher-level menu by pressing “ESC”. If changes to
files with names have not yet been saved, you will be prompted to save the changes. Here, you can
choose between the following options:
 Save (without changing the file name)

 Save under a new file name (the original
file will remain unchanged)
 Reject (discard the changes and exit the menu)
 Cancel (continue editing in the submenu and
make additional changes)
For menu items where the information is not stored in files with individual names, the “Save under
new name” option is not available.
7.3.1 Save and leave the menu using [F1]

In some menus, changes can be applied directly by pressing “F1”. This option is indicated by a tick
next to the “F1” function key.
Function of “F1”: Changes are accepted and the menu is closed without any further interaction.
Please note that in addition to saving, jobs, labels, and installation

settings must be reassigned when the device is stopped in order to
ensure they are effective.

7.5.3 “Job” menu [2]
Alternatively, the REA JET SC 2.0 also allows installation settings and labels to be combined,
managed and assigned in jobs. A job consists of a “label” and “installation settings”. A job must be
assigned before any printing can take place. More information on the print job concept can be
found in chapter 9. In most cases, this menu item is used to assign a complete print job. When
assigning an individual label, however, it is also possible to maintain the currently active installation
setting for the new label.
“Jobs” can be managed in this menu item. This includes creating, editing and assigning print jobs.
Labels (print contents) are used in all submenus of the ‘Job’ menu. The respective files are
selected from a list similar to File Explorer. It is easy to mix up files if there is a large quantity.
If a job is assigned during a marking process, the print job is stopped, and the new job is assigned
and then started.

selected installation settings. After selecting the corresponding entry field, the label can be selected
from the list of available labels.
You can use the cursor keys or the rotary knob to scroll through the previews of all files stored in
the directory. Please note that switching from one to the next label can take a little time due to
longer data processing for larger labels. Press “F5” to return to the file selection list. The
assignment of the “F1” to “F4” keys corresponds to that in the basic screen (see 6.5.1).

Editing print jobs:
In principle, editing already saved print jobs is done in the same way as creating new print jobs (as
described in the previous section). The screens and steps differ in two respects:
 When creating a new job, the field for the job name in the editing dialog does not contain an
entry. In the case of existing jobs, the name of the current job is displayed in this field.
 A newly created job cannot be saved until a name has been assigned.
 An existing job that is changed is saved under the existing name.
There will be no confirmation prompt.
 If a changed job is to be saved under a new name, a new name must be assigned before
saving.
 The current job is assigned using “F1”. A confirmation prompt will appear.

7.5.4.1 “Mode” submenu [3*2]
The following print modes are available.
Normal
The assigned label is printed every time the trigger is actuated (sensor edge). Variable data is
always printed based on the last available print content.
There is another setting option: cyclic printing. If cyclic printing is deactivated (“No”), the assigned
label is printed exactly once every time the trigger is actuated (sensor edge).
If cyclic printing is activated (“Yes”), the number of prints can be selected. When selecting “5”, for
example, the current label is printed five times every time the trigger is actuated (sensor edge).
Variable data such as counters or time fields are updated during printing.
If the “Fixed mode” box is ticked, the current label is printed five times every time the trigger is
actuated (sensor edge). In this case, however, variable data such as counters or time fields are
NOT updated during printing.
Continuous
The assigned label is printed as long as the trigger is actuated (continuous sensor signal).
The labels are printed at a distance that corresponds to the value specified in the “Continuous
delay”
parameter. Variable data is always printed based on the last available print content.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
The abort mode determines how the coding and marking system responds when the sensor returns
no signal. The following abort modes are available:
Immediate:
The print head immediately stops printing.
Synchronous:
The print head immediately stops printing.
Finish label:
The current label is printed until completed.
Single
Same as the normal printing mode, but the contents of all variable objects must be overwritten
before a print is triggered. Otherwise, the print trigger will fail.
Limited output:
This parameter determines how often the current label is printed. If “No” is selected, printing
continues as long as the sensor returns a signal.
Fixed mode:
If the value of the “Limited output” parameter is greater than or equal to 2, the “Fixed mode”
parameter can be activated.
If the “Fixed mode” box is ticked, the current label is printed five times every time the trigger is
actuated (sensor edge). In this case, however, variable data such as counters or time fields are
NOT updated during printing.

7.5.4.2 “Product movement” submenu [3*3]
This menu item contains all parameters related to the movement of the product. When changing
the clock source, the parameter fields associated with the relevant clock sources are hidden or
displayed.
The following options can be selected:
Internal clock
If the internal clock is specified as the clock source, the (continuous) speed of the product must be
entered in m/min.
This setting is recommended if the products move very evenly past the print head.
Shaft encoder

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
If the shaft encoder is selected as the clock source, the rate must be entered here. This rate is
calculated from the resolution of the shaft encoder and the circumference of the measuring wheel.
The rate indicates how many pulses are sent to the shaft encoder input of the REA JET SC 2.0 per
mm of product movement.
Furthermore, the desired rotational direction of the shaft encoder must be specified here. This is
necessary because the control device can determine the product direction via the two output
signals of the shaft encoder, which are phase-shifted by 90 degrees. The direction must match the
direction of rotation of the shaft encoder set here. Otherwise, the control unit assumes that the
product is moving in the wrong direction. In this case, printing is stopped and a warning message is
displayed in the information screen.
Special aspects of this mode: If the belt stops and then moves backwards, printing is stopped. If the
belt then moves in the correct direction again, printing resumes at the correct position.
Shaft encoder without SP
Special aspects of this mode: If the belt stops and then moves backwards, printing is stopped. If the
belt then moves in the correct direction again, printing resumes immediately.
Shaft encoder A signal
With this setting, the REA JET SC 2.0 coding and marking system prints as long as the shaft
encoder sends a signal. In this mode, it is irrelevant whether the belt moves forward or backward.

1 Upside down The print is performed upside down.

2 Backwards The print is performed backwards.
3 Print height The print height can be set with this parameter.
100% means full print height, while 50% means half print height.
The height of the print image on the product is determined by the set print
height and the distance of the print head from the product.
4 Hor. resolution Resolution in the horizontal direction in dots per inch.
5 Multistroke This parameter indicates how many additional strokes are
printed between two point gaps. The entered value can range
between
1 as the minimum setting without additional blackening to 9,
i.e. 9 repetitions of each stroke (corresponding to a multiplication
of 1-9). The higher the entered value, the bolder the text. This
option influences the print contrast or the black level of the label,
but not the text size. The additional blackening function can add
further vertical lines to the existing lines in the text and thereby
increase the black level. The overall text height is increased only
slightly. The necessary clock frequency can be determined by
REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
multiplying the line speed, the print density and the additional
blackening. As a result, the maximum possible line speed is
increasingly restricted when higher print density and additional
blackening values are selected! Furthermore, in the event of this
value being exceeded, a warning can only be issued to the user
when using an internally generated clock, as with an external clock
the line speed is unknown or variable!
Attention: The higher the additional blackening, the lower the

possible speed!
6 Blanking The product sensor is deactivated for the duration set here after
each print triggering. This prevents a further print from being
unintentionally triggered, e.g. due to a bright/dark transition on the
product. Using the “Blanking” value, you can set a time span
(which starts directly after printing a label) in which triggering of the
product sensor is suppressed.
7 Label alignment This parameter is used to specify the alignment of the label on the
product.
8 Bidirectional Bidirectional printing can be activated here.

If bidirectional printing is activated, three additional parameters are
shown:
- Reverse trigger
- Rev. sensor delay
- Reverse label offset
The definitions of the parameters are the same as those for the
parameters described here, but they apply for the reverse
movement of the print head and therefore for labeling in the
opposite direction.
9 Print trigger Here you can select the digital input specified for the print trigger
event.
10 Sensor delay The sensor connected to the control unit is used to detect the
product moving on the belt (e.g. cardboard) and to send a signal
(Print Go) to the control unit for starting the print. The sensor delay

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
indicates the distance between the fixed sensor and the center of
the first nozzle of the print head. In some applications, the sensor
must be installed behind the print head. In this case, it is also
possible to enter negative values for the sensor delay. Values can
range from -9999 to 9999 mm. The sensor delay serves to delay
printing by time the product needs to travel from the product sensor
to the print head.
11 Label offset This parameter determines the start position of the label (label =
inscription field). The parameter specifies the offset (delay)
between the triggering of the print and the start of printing the label,
taking into account the set sensor delay.
12 Product length Depending on the selection for the “Label alignment” parameter,
the product length must be entered here.
REA JET SC 2.0 places the label on the center of the product
using the product length for alignment.
13 Continuous delay In continuous delay mode, this value indicates the distance (in mm)
between the start and end of a print and the start of the next print.
14 Delay mode This parameter determines how the value for “Continuous
delay” is used.
Delay between the end of the print and start of the next
print
Delay between the start of the print and start of the next
print

REA JET SC 2.0

The fewer the pixels in the selected print height, the faster labeling can be performed.
The more pixels in the selected print height of the selected print head type, the higher the print
quality and the vertical resolution.
The print head height and the label to be assigned must be compatible to one another. It is NOT
possible to print a 48-pixel label using a print head type with a lower number of pixels defined in the
print height.
The % display in the lower line (see chapter 6.5.1) provides information on the maximum possible
speed.
If 100% size is exceeded, “time-critical” text passages are stretched with a large amount of vertical

Editing digital inputs
The following editing dialog opens when selecting a new or existing I/O file. This always starts with
the view for editing the inputs. The parameterization/processing of the inputs is divided into three
levels.
 Level (1):
Here you can select the event that is to be triggered via an input or a combination of inputs.
 Level (2):
Here you can select the input that is to trigger the previously selected event. Multiple inputs
can also be selected in parallel for an event.
 Level (3):
Here you can specify the signal response (signal state) to which the inputs are to react. If
several inputs are used in parallel, the type of link is also defined here.
The direction of editing is from left to right (from level 1 to level 3). Press “OK” to go to the next
level. Use “ESC” to return to the previous level. A change in the third level (in an input/selection

10 Start job Start job event:
Starts an assigned job by means of an external signal.
11 Stop job Stop job event:
Stops a running job by means of an external signal.
12 Print trigger Trigger event:

Triggers a print job by means of an external signal.
13 Hide Hide event:

This function can be used to hide individual objects in an assigned
label. If the condition of the group assigned to the object is fulfilled,
this object will be hidden from this moment on; i.e. it will no longer be
printed. After the condition (change of inputs) is removed, the object
is printed again.
14 Bidirectional This function is required in applications in which the print head of the
printing system is moved along an axis across the product to be
printed.
When printing in both directions of the axis, the printing system
requires information on when the axis is in reverse. Using the
corresponding installation settings, the REA JET SC 2.0 is informed
of this event via an input.
Bidirectional printing (printing in both directions of an axis) is
particularly important in applications with high pulse rates. This
solution is preferred for printing products transported in a tray (e.g.
yogurt cups).
15 Counter
Counter event:
This function can be used to trigger a counter object in an assigned
label. To trigger the counter, the ‘Digital input’ parameter must be
selected in the ‘Counter event’ field in REA JET LabelCreator.
Signal states and links of the digital inputs
An event can be set such that triggering is dependent on the different signal characteristics of the
corresponding input.
If several inputs are assigned to an event in parallel, the logic operation of the inputs is
selected/specified via linking operation. This linking operation applies to all inputs that are assigned
to an event in parallel.
The two configuration options ensure targeted external control of the coding and marking system,
precisely tailored to the application.
The following figure shows the selection menu for the signal response and the linking operation.
For the sake of clarity, both selection lists are presented together. When editing an I/O
configuration on the REA JET SC 2.0, the two points are edited separately.

“Edge falling” The event is triggered when changing from “Level High” to “Level
Low”. The falling edge is evaluated.

Procedure when creating an I/O configuration using a digital input as an example:
On the I/O screen, use the cursor keys or the rotary knob to select an event. In this case: “Stop
job”.
Press the rotary knob or “OK” to confirm the selection.

The cursor jumps to the selection of digital inputs.
Use the cursor keys or the rotary knob to select the desired input. In this case: “Input 3”.
Now you can select the desired signal response for this event at input 3.
It is possible to make an event dependent on the signal state of several inputs. For this purpose,
the states of two or more inputs can be linked with the logic operators “and” and “or”.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
Start job event
With this event, an assigned print job can be started via the digital inputs. This can be triggered by
either an external control unit (e.g. a PLC) or an operating element (e.g. a button). This makes it
possible to start the REA JET SC 2.0 job manually or by using a higher-level control unit. This
event serves the same function as pressing the key on the control unit.
When connecting an external control system to start the REA JET SC

2.0, it is recommended to send the “Ready to operate” message as a
signal to the external controller.
Stop job event
With this event, a running print job can be stopped via the digital inputs. This can be triggered by
either an external control unit (e.g. a PLC) or an operating element (e.g. a button).
The pin assignments of the I/O connection are found in chapter 2.6.4.1 from page 26 onwards.
This event serves the same function as pressing the key on the control unit.
Print trigger event
When configuring the “Print trigger” event, one of the seven inputs (sensor + I/Os) or a combination
of several inputs can be used to trigger printing. By default, the ‘Print trigger’ event is preset with
the ‘Product sensor’ input with ‘Edge rising’. Thanks to the freely configurable print trigger, the REA
JET SC 2.0 offers many advantages in industrial coding and marking processes. The linking of the
print trigger with external systems/sensors, for example, is a requirement in many applications. In
applications where the print may only be triggered if a quality check has been performed, it was
previously necessary to use a (small) external control unit for connecting the signals. With the REA
JET SC 2.0, this can be achieved by configuring the print trigger. This leads to time and cost
savings and reduces the complexity of the application.
The following figure shows the editing dialog for triggering a print within the menu for editing digital
inputs.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
When linking several inputs, it is not sensible to link edges with ‘and’ It is
unlikely that an edge will occur at two inputs at the same time. Therefore,
reliable triggering is not possible.
When using several inputs for triggering a print, it is advisable to use
‘Edge rising’ for the product sensor and ‘Level High’ for the other inputs.
Counter
This function can be used to trigger a counter object in an assigned label. To trigger the counter,
the ‘Digital input’ parameter must be selected in the ‘Counter event’ field in REA JET LabelCreator.
This function makes it possible to trigger a counter object using an external signal.
Hide
This function can be used to hide individual objects in an assigned label. For this purpose, the
object to be hidden must be assigned to a corresponding group. You can also assign multiple
objects to a group. This assignment must be made in the REA JET LabelCreator when creating the
label. A total of 20 groups are available in the REA JET LabelCreator.
In the REA JET SC 2.0, the 6 digital inputs can be freely assigned to the 20 groups in the REA JET
LabelCreator. The inputs can also be binary-coded in the groups. If the condition of the group
assigned to the object is fulfilled, this object will be hidden from this moment on; i.e. it will no longer
be printed. After the condition (change of inputs) is removed, the object is printed again.
The following figure shows the selection of groups that are hidden. In the view, only 17 of the 20
available groups are displayed simultaneously. On the control unit, the selection is made by
scrolling using the two arrows at the beginning and end of the selection list.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
After selecting the group, you can define the desired inputs and signal response for this group.
Bidirectional
This function is required in applications in which the print head(s) of the printing system are moved
along an axis across the product to be printed. When printing in both directions of the axis, the
printing system requires information on when the axis is in reverse. Using the corresponding
installation settings, the REA JET SC 2.0 is informed of this event via an input.
Bidirectional printing (printing in both directions of an axis) is particularly important in applications

with high pulse rates. This solution is preferred for printing products transported in a tray (e.g.
yogurt cups).
Editing digital outputs [F2]

When opening a new or existing I/O file, the editing dialog always starts with the view of the inputs.
The editing dialog for outputs can be accessed by pressing “F2”. Press “F1” to return to the dialog
for inputs.
As with the inputs, the processing/parameterization of the outputs is divided into three levels. With
the inputs, the selection of the desired event is started in level 1. Editing of digital outputs, however,
starts with the selection of the desired output. The two other levels also differ from the levels used
for the inputs. The three levels for the outputs are as follows:
 Level (1):
Here you can select the digital output which will be used to signal the desired event.
 Level (2):
Here you can select the ‘Event’ in which the parameters for the corresponding output are to
be edited. The number of parameters to be edited depends on the ‘Event’ and ‘Behavior’
The menu is automatically adjusted.
 Level (3):
Here you can define the ‘Event’, the ‘Behavior’ and the associated values. Only one event
can be assigned to each output. However, you can assign the same event to multiple
outputs.

Events for digital outputs
The following figure shows the menu for selecting the events available for the digital outputs.
Only one event can be selected for each output. However, the same event can be assigned to
multiple outputs. Different behaviors and values can be used for each output. This makes it
possible to relay the product sensor signal to two independent systems (e.g. a camera and an
ejection system) downstream of the marking and coding process. In this case, the signal response
can be individually adapted to the two external systems using the respective parameters. The figure
below provides an overview of the available events. The following table contains a detailed
description of the events.

1 Error This function (event) signals an error. This is a group message for the
various error messages of the system. An error automatically results in
the active job being stopped, and the “Ready” event no longer applies.
The “Error” event is automatically canceled when the reason for the error
has been eliminated. When the print job is restarted, the error is
acknowledged and the parameterized output behavior is reset.
2 Ready This function (event) signals that the REA JET SC 2.0 has been
successfully started (job assigned, device started and green LED above
the start button illuminated). An error immediately overrides this event.
3 Product sensor This function (event) allows the trigger signal, which the REA JET SC 2.0
uses to start printing, to be passed on to other systems. For this purpose,
additional parameters, e.g. a delay (in mm or milliseconds) or the signal
duration for the transmitted trigger signal can be set when configuring the
outputs.
4 Busy This function (event) is used to indicate the length of the label. This
function is active from the moment the print is triggered until the end of
the blanking of the product sensor.
5 Printing This function (event) signals the printing activity of the coding and
marking system. This function is active as long as the actual printing
process is running (ink is applied).
6 Ink warning This function (event) signals a low ink and/or Viskoflex level.
It is recommended to parameterize the ‘Operational’, ‘Error’ and ‘Ink

warning’ events as level-oriented signals.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
Additional information on the ‘Error’ event.
If the selected output for the ‘Error’ event is assigned to the signal
response ‘Level high’, a high level warning will occur at this output in the
event of an error (= red indicator light of the REA signal light is on when
using the default output settings). The active print job is automatically
stopped.
The “Error” event is automatically canceled when the reason for the error
has been eliminated. When the job is restarted, the error is
acknowledged and the parameterized output behavior is reset. The red
signal light does not turn off after the error has been eliminated, but only
when the job is restarted.
Additional information on the ‘Operational’ event:

As described above, an error automatically means that the “Ready” event
no longer applies. Contrastingly, situations in which the “Ready” event
does not apply do not necessarily involve an error.
Example:
The Operational notification (green light) should be used for a system
stop, as here both errors as well as user interventions, such as 'Stop Job'
and cleaning are covered - in this case, the print head flap is open, the
printer is not operational and the "green light” is not illuminated.

1 Level High When the event occurs, the corresponding output signals a high level.
2 Level Low When the event occurs, the corresponding output signals a low level.
3 Pulse positive When the event occurs, the associated output sends a positive pulse with
an adjustable pulse duration. Otherwise, the output signals a low level.
4 Pulse negative When the event occurs, the associated output sends a negative pulse
with an adjustable pulse duration. Otherwise, the output signals a high
level.
The ‘Delay’ parameter for ‘Pulse positive’ and ‘Pulse negative’ signal behavior
When the behavior is set to “Level High” and “Level Low”, no further parameters are available. In
contrast, the “Delay” parameter must be adjusted after selecting the “Pulse positive” or “Pulse
negative” behavior. This parameter is the delay with which the selected event is emitted at the
selected output.
The delay can be defined in two ways, using the parameters “Distance” and “Duration”. The
meaning of these two parameters, the possible values and effects are described in the following
two sections.
The length of the pulse must be specified in the lowest field irrespective of the value selected for
the “Delay” parameter.

The REA JET SC 2.0 has ports for the following interfaces:
 One Ethernet interface

 One USB port
- The USB port is used for connecting mass storage devices and thus does not require any
settings. For this reason, there is no settings menu for the USB port.
- Standard USB keyboards can be connected to the USB port if required. This makes it
possible to the use keyboards with other character sets (Arabic/Cyrillic etc.).
7.5.5.6 Ethernet configuration [4  5  2]
The Ethernet interface enables communication with external control units (PC, PLC, SCADA
system, T&T system, etc.) using the TCP/IP protocol. The CD/DVD included in the standard scope
of supply contains various software components for this purpose.
In this menu item, it is possible to choose between automatic and manual assignment of the IP
address.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
The automatic setting of the IP address is activated by checking the ‘DHCP’ box. This requires a
DHCP server to be present in the network to which the control unit is connected. Via the DHCP
server, the REA JET SC 2.0 also receives information on the subnet mask, the standard gateway
and, if available, the NTP server.
If the DHCP functionality is deactivated, the data must be entered manually. If no gateway is used
in the active network, the entry can be omitted.

7.5.7 User administration [6]
The user interface of the REA JET SC 2.0 is equipped with a user administration menu. This makes
it possible to activate and deactivate device functions for specific users. User administration is not
activated by default. This means that all functions are available without logging on to the device.
The user administration concept is based on a role model. Each user role is assigned a set of
available functions. The roles implemented in the REA JET SC 2.0 are:
 Administrator
 Line manager
 Service
 User
 Guest

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
Every individual user must be assigned to one of these roles. After logging on to the device, users
can then perform the functions assigned to their role.
When user administration is activated, users must log on with their user name (= role name) and
the associated password. This is the only way to operate the unit. When user administration is
activated, the Guest user role is automatically activated when the device is restarted.
The administrator password can only be changed or deleted through user

administration. The password must be known for this purpose. If the
administrator password has been forgotten, the user administration can
only be deleted by resetting the control unit to factory settings. This also
deletes all files stored in the user folders of the device.
7.5.7.1 Activating user administration
To activate user administration, the default administrator password must be changed. The default
password is

The ink jet is continuously activated and the BLEED valve is
switched briefly and repeatedly. By doing so, it is possible to check
whether there is still air or dirt in the ink chamber. The jet should only
drop off slightly in the direction of gravity when switching the valve
and not move uncontrollably. This would indicate that there is air or
dirt in the system. If this is the case, further bleeding is necessary.

The following figure shows the effect of switching from the 24h display to the 12h display.
The system-internal clock (the electronic components) is not suitable for

accurate time measurement. A deviation of up to one minute can be
expected per month. If an exact time setting is required for a given
application, the system clock must be checked and reset regularly. This
can also be performed using an NTP server.
The REA JET SC 2.0 automatically switches between daylight saving

time and standard time. This automatically takes into account the
different calculation rules based on the set region (time zone). Legal
changes are taken into account in the software by REA JET once they
become known (once they have come into force) and are available in the
subsequent firmware update.

9 Jobs and their components

9.1 Introduction to print jobs or “jobs”
The REA JET SC 2.0 system allows labels and installation settings to be combined and saved in
jobs. To better understand the concept, you need to know what data/information is necessary for a
coding and marking system. In principle, we distinguish between the actual print content and the
system parameters.
 Print content:
The term label is often used for the print content. This label contains the data to be applied
to a product/component. This data may include simple text, 1D and 2D codes, counters, a
manufacturing and/or expiration date, a shift code, and a graphic. The layout is also
considered print content.
 System parameters:
The term “installation settings” is often used for the system parameters. These installation
settings usually contain information on the installation of the coding and marking system.
This includes information on the position of the print head in relation to the moving product
(front, back, etc.), the direction from which the product approaches the print head, the
distance between the product sensor and the print head, the information on the speed of the
product, the print mode (continuous print, single print, etc.), the required printing delay and
the required resolution, etc.
In many standard coding and marking systems, the values for the installation setting can only be
stored once in the control unit. These values are then valid for all print jobs. The various labels are
stored as files in the memory of the control unit and are assigned/loaded depending on the product.
If, for example, different printing delays are required for products of different sizes, operators need
to manually adjust the installation settings each time the product is changed. This manual handling
can result in errors. Depending on the production orders, the error rate becomes even greater if a
coding and marking system is to be used on different production lines. The installation settings
must then be manually adjusted at each change. In other systems, parts of the installation settings
are stored in the label. If these systems are to be used to print the same labels (e.g. a label
containing the manufacturer’s specifications) on different lines, the labels need to be adjusted for
each line.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
With the REA JET SC 2.0, not only the labels are stored as files, but also the installation settings. In
addition to the required labels, it is therefore also possible to store different installation settings, e.g.
for different production lines. The number of files is limited only by the storage space available on
the REA JET SC 2.0 (4 GB). With typical file sizes of approx. 2-50 kB for a label and approx. 4 kB
for an installation setting, more than 1,000 files can be stored without a problem. The operating
concept of the REA JET SC 2.0 enables two different methods for assigning printing-related
information:
For users who prefer working with the same installation settings every time, there is the option to
simply assign a new label when changing a label. If the installation settings must be adjusted when
setting up a system, users only have to reassign the changed installation settings again.
Users who are familiar with different installation settings and labels can save the combination of
installation settings and labels within one job. If, for example, a label (label layout) is to be printed
on several different lines, only one label is required. The jobs link the respective installation settings
of the different lines with the same label. For a better understanding of the REA JET SC 2.0
concept, the following figure illustrates the relationship between the individual files.
No. File Function
A Label file This file contains all information/data on the content and layout of the
label to be printed. The corresponding file names are stored for the
graphics to be printed. These graphics are loaded and rendered
when the print job is assigned.
A-1 Font file This file contains the fonts available on the device.
A-2 Bitmap file This file contains the bitmaps/graphics available on the device.
B Installation settings This file contains all information on the installation of the marking and
file coding system and the conditions of the system.
C Job file This file contains the name of the installation settings used and the
associated label(s).

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
The REA JET SC 2.0 concept of jobs allows the system to be adapted to different requirements
much more flexibly than other coding and marking systems, which can only work with fixed default
installation settings. In simple applications, this concept is not always necessary. To make using
the REA JET SC 2.0 as simple as possible in such applications, the control unit supports an
operating mode with fixed installation settings. In this operating mode, the control unit operates with
a fixed default setting. Only the required labels have to be assigned to change the print content.
The control unit automatically creates the job (with the selected fixed installation settings).
Detailed information on jobs can be found in chapter REA JET SC 2.0.
9.1.1 Format of jobs and their components

The XML format is used for labels, installation settings, jobs and the I/O configuration of the REA
JET SC 2.0. The files are not only stored in this format, but are also processed by the print control
unit. The use of the internationally recognized, open XML standard offers the following advantages:
 Clear mapping of the object-oriented structure of a label or installation setting in the XML
structure of the file.
 Clear and easy-to-understand file structure.
 Independent of manufacturer-specific (proprietary) formats through the use of “tags*” and
“values**”.
 Easy modification and editing of the relevant files through a host system based on clear and
unique tag names.
 High investment security and future viability.
*) Tag = data identifier, designation; **) Value = associated value, associated setting.
The following figure shows the typical structure of an XML file. A part of a REA JET SC 2.0 label file
is used here as an example.

9.1.2 Jobs [2]

This chapter describes the structure and function of jobs, as well as the correlation between jobs
and the relevant installation settings. The methods for creating and assigning jobs as well as the
corresponding menus of the REA JET SC 2.0 are described in chapter 7.5.3.
For an introduction and to ensure better understanding of the job concept, we recommend reading
chapter 7.5.3.
9.1.2.1 Structure of a job
As described in the previous chapter, jobs are files in XML format. A job must include the
installation settings file and the corresponding label file. The “job” does not contain the files
(installation settings and label), but only their names. The following figure shows the contents of a
job file with one print head group.

No. File Function
1 Name of the job >mz_001.job<

This is the name of the job file.
2 Name of the „mz_001.set“
installation setting This is the name of the installation setting used in this print job.
3 Name of the print “Front”
head group This is the name of the print head group used in the installation
setting.
4 Name of the label „mz_001.xml“
This is the name of the label that is assigned to the “Front” print head
group. (Only one print head group is defined in the installation
settings used in this job.)
REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
9.1.2.2 Function of a job
Jobs are used to provide the required information on the planned labeling task to the REA JET SC
2.0. When a job is assigned, the control unit first loads the installation settings corresponding to the
name stored in the job. The label corresponding to the name stored in the print job is then loaded
and analyzed (parsed). The relevant fonts and graphics are also loaded according to the
information contained in the label. Together with this information, the print content (i.e. the label to
be printed) is rendered/calculated. This file is now ready for printing.
For a better understanding of the relationships, the following two figures show the ‘Edit print job’
dialog box. The first view shows the status after selecting the installation settings. The second
figure shows the status with the selected label. The files used correspond to those of the job
displayed as an XML.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
The following figure illustrates the file relationships of a job.
9.1.3 The label

This chapter describes the contents and structure of the labels. Labels are created using the REA
JET LabelCreator software. The process for editing and assigning labels is described in chapter
7.5.6.2.
The label contains the information to be printed with the REA JET SC 2.0, including both the layout
and the content.
The labels have an object-oriented structure, which means that an object is created for each
individual content element of the label (text, production date, company logo, etc.). This is done
when creating the label using the REA JET LabelCreator software. The number of objects in a label
is only limited by the available memory. This object-oriented design offers various advantages:
 Free positioning of the individual objects within the label

 Individual parameterization of each individual object
 Use of references between individual objects
 Good overview of the label structure
 Simple selection of different objects for editing
 Easy grouping and alignment of objects
 Use of freely adjustable layers for individual objects. For example, this makes it possible to
superimpose a text object over a graphic object (e.g. postmarks)
 Unlimited* number of function objects with different parameters each (e.g. date objects with
different offset and different display formats, such as days as a number, short name and/or
long name)
*) Only limited by the available storage space.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
The maximum height of a label is 48 pixels. The maximum length of a label for the REA JET SC 2.0
is dependent on the selected print height.
Print height Max. label length

7 pixels 16384 pixels
24 pixels 5461 pixels
The height of the print image on the product is determined by the set print height and the distance
of the print head from the product.
The REA JET SC 2.0 label is based on XML. It is saved and edited in this format. The scope of
supply of the REA JET SC 2.0 includes a CD with the REA JET LabelCreator software for creating
labels. This software is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7 (32/64 bit) and Windows 8 (32/64
bit). The labels created with this software can be transferred to the REA JET SC 2.0 as follows:
 Using a USB mass storage device (e.g. a USB memory stick).

 Using Windows Explorer via an Ethernet connection between the PC and the REA JET SC
2.0
 Via the “Save to device” menu item in the REA JET LabelCreator software. This is only
possible if there is an Ethernet connection between the PC and the REA JET SC 2.0.
A label can be used in multiple print jobs. This is possible because the
job only contains the name of the label and the label is reloaded each
time the job is assigned.
9.1.3.1 Fonts (TrueType fonts)
With REA JET SC 2.0, a different font can be used for each text object included in the label. This
also applies to the plain texts of 1D and 2D codes. The number of different fonts used
simultaneously in one label is only limited by the memory of the control device.
The REA JET LabelCreator comes with a set of free basic fonts. The ‘Font selection’ function of the
REA JET LabelCreator makes it possible to use the TrueType fonts available on the PC on which
the REA JET LabelCreator software is installed.
The TrueType fonts used in the creation of a label must be stored in the
“Fonts” folder of the REA JET SC 2.0 If a TrueType font used in a label is
not available, the control unit uses the FreeSans font to display the label
on the GUI and to print it.
For information on how to transfer TrueType font files, see7.5.6.2, and for information on how to
update new TrueType fonts, see REA JET SC 2.0.

REA JET SC 2.0
V 1.4 6/19/2019
9.1.3.2 Graphics
The REA JET SC 2.0 can print graphics such as company logos, drawings and similar objects. For
this purpose, the name of the corresponding graphic is stored in the label file when creating an
object using the REA JET LabelCreator. When assigning a label with graphics, the control device
loads the corresponding graphic file from the folder and renders it.
The graphics used in the REA JET SC 2.0 must be available in .png format (black and white, 1 bit
depth).
When using the corresponding label, the graphics must be stored in .png
format in the “Bitmaps” folder of the REA JET SC 2.0. If a graphic used in
a label is not available on the device, the corresponding object is
displayed on the control unit with an X in place of the graphic.
For information on how to transfer graphic files, see 7.5.6.2.
9.1.4 Installation settings

The installation settings are used to transfer the installation parameters to the coding and marking
system.
Installation settings (in the sense of REA JET SC 2.0) reflect the characteristics/special features of
the coding and marking system, such as on a conveyor belt or in a packaging machine. Settings
such as the print resolution, print mode, direction of movement of the product, settings for the used
shaft encoder etc. can be made here. With REA JET SC 2.0, any number of installation settings
can be created and saved (the number is only limited by the size of the available memory).
Further information on installation settings can be found in chapter 7.5.4

10 Extended commissioning
10.1 Connection to a system control unit
The REA JET SC 2.0 coding and marking system is equipped with four freely configurable digital
outputs and six freely configurable digital inputs for controlled interaction with additional external
elements or the customer’s PLC. These are located on connection socket X14. Via a pin provided
for this purpose, the digital inputs and outputs can be operated with an external 24 V power supply.
Alternatively, they can also be supplied with internal voltage from the device.
A detailed description of the configuration can be found in chapter7.5.5.1 on page 85.

The wiring of the inputs and outputs is found in chapter 2.6.4 from page 26.

10.2.1 Network connection
The settings for connecting the REA JET SC 2.0 to an IT network via the Ethernet port are
described in detail in 7.5.5.5 from page 102.
The control unit supports the Zeroconfig function for a point-to-point connection.
10.2.2 VNC server

The control unit is equipped with a VNC server for support, remote maintenance or for training
purposes.
See chapter 12.5 from page 165for more information.
10.2.3 FTP server

An FTP server is integrated in the firmware to enable convenient automatic data transmission from
a host system to the REA JET SC 2.0.
The following data is required for this purpose:
 User: anonymous
 Password: [email protected]
Any email address containing an “@” character can be used as a password. This address is not
stored for any purpose.
10.2.4 NTP functionality

Devices in an IT network can synchronize their system clocks via this network. For this purpose, an
NTP server must be available in the network and the IP address of this server must be known to
the individual devices.
If the REA JET SC 2.0 is set to obtain its network address via “DHCP”, the control unit also
requests the address of the NTP server when communicating with the DHCP server. If such an
NTP server is available, the REA JET SC 2.0 automatically synchronizes its system clock with the
NTP server.

12 Care and maintenance
12.1 General maintenance instructions
The REA JET SC 2.0 is a low-maintenance coding and marking system. Regular care and
maintenance is essential to ensure high availability of the coding and marking system.
In order to prevent faults, it is necessary to have specialist staff perform the required maintenance,
inspection and modification measures on a regular basis.
Changes to normal operation (higher power input, temperatures or vibrations, unusual sounds or
smells, response of the monitoring devices, etc.) indicate that the function is impaired.
In case of doubt, switch off the corresponding equipment immediately.
The operational reliability and service life essentially depend on proper maintenance. Malfunctions
caused by insufficient or improper maintenance can result in high repair costs and long downtimes.
Regular maintenance is therefore essential.
During operation, the system produces vibrations that can cause screw and clamp connections to
become loose. In order to prevent damage, check the coding and marking system for loose
connections at regular intervals (the recommended interval for one-shift operation is three months).
Beware of the risks caused by electric current when carrying out

maintenance and repair work!
The following shutdown procedure must always be followed prior to performing cleaning,
maintenance or repair work (only by specialist staff).
1. Switch off the power supply of the system:
 Switch the power switch on the REA JET SC 2.0 to “0”;

 Cover neighboring live parts.
Close the opened electric cabinets during cleaning so that no water,

vapor or dust can enter. Failure to observe this can endanger the lives
and limb of the staff (danger of death due to electrocution)!

12.4.1 Daily
 Check the print head components (ink chamber, high-voltage electrode, charging electrode,
etc.) for dirt or defects.
 Check the fill levels of the reservoirs.
12.5 Remote maintenance via the implemented VNC server

The control unit is equipped with a VNC server for support, remote maintenance or for training
purposes. This allows the content of the screen to be transmitted from the control unit to a remote
computer, where the display is identical to that shown on the device. As keyboard entries are also
transmitted, it is therefore possible to provide a step-by-step demonstration of operation from a
remote location to an operator standing at the device.
To use this function, access to the network in which the device is installed is required. The following
data is required for this purpose:
 Port: 7777
 Password: 073205380
If you have any further questions, please contact your network administrator.
As a VNC client, you can use SSVNC for example. Further information can be found in the
corresponding readme file on the CD supplied with every control unit. When using this software,
please note that “Normal arrow” is set in the “Options -> Globals” menu.
