Abstract
Method and apparatus for non-contact application of infor
mation patterns of variable size and format on a plurality of
discrete moving objects 12 carried linearly on a conveyor 14.
The objects move, horizontally spaced apart, past at least one
print head 16 having plural ink sources arranged vertically
relative to the moving objects. An information pattern is
provided to control means 20. The leading edge of an object is
detected along with the velocity of said object. Representative
signals are directed to the control means 20 having inputs for
receiving said signals, the control means energizing selected
piezoelectric cystal pumping devices in predetermined relation
to the velocity signal according to the pattern to provide small
ink drop streams. The ink sources are synchronously inter
rupted with the movement of the object and each succeeding
object is marked in the line.
