Abstract:
An improved print and apply device that receives a single data stream containing label printing/encoding data and positioning data. The single data stream may comprise data relating to the skew angle of the package. The print and apply device transmits label data to a printer/encoder portion of the system and positioning data to motors that move the system. Once the printer portion and the applicator portion have indicated they are ready, a signal is sent to apply the label. Supplemental motors can adjust the package in the X, Y, and/or Z directions until the skew angle is determined to be within an acceptable approach to zero. The label can be applied anywhere in the X, Y, and/or Z directions on a package.

Claim (Index 1):
A printer system, comprising:\n a print portion configured to print or encode a label; an apply portion configured to apply said label to a package comprising a label application device and a robotic arm; wherein said robotic arm is attached to said label application device wherein said robotic arm is comprised of a plurality of motors and a plurality of linking arms wherein said motors move said linking arms as to move said label application device to apply said label to any surface of said package; a controller coupled to the print and apply portion and having a single interface configured to receive a single data stream comprising label data and positioning data from a single data stream; and a command parser configured to receive the single data stream and parse label data to the printer portion and positioning data to the apply portion.
