Hi guys, currently working on the communication with videojet 1620 printer (Continuous Inkjet Marking), in there operators manual (http://www.videojet.com/content/dam/Countries/North%20America/Operator-Manuals/CIJ/1620-Operator-Manual.pdf)  the say : - How to Configure Ethernet Port Refer to WSI/ESI Communications Protocol addendum for more information. But cant find this addendum anywhere in the web, all i did found is this pdf attached "Videojet 1510 and 1210 Simple Communications Protocol". I'have try it with th eprinter using the Ethernet port and all i can find open is the FTP(21), 3000, 3001 and VNC(5900). An d i have send same packets from the WSI/ESI to the print via 3000 and 3001 with Packet Sender but the response was empty!! is there any one that know this protocol ESI/WSI or did work with this printer or simillar ?   i found this info in the FTP folder : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CONTROLLER_INFORMATION>     <START_DATE date="07/09/2016"/>     <HARDWARE BoardType="CSB4"/>     <VERSIONS>         <WINDOWS_CE Eboot="4.0.3" CE_Image="2.0.9"/>         <SOFTWARE Type="Excel" Version="1.0.423.0" SVN_Build="28116M"/>     </VERSIONS> </CONTROLLER_INFORMATION> 180020947-Videojet-WSI-Protocol.pdf

I wonder if anyone can recommend cable id printer? I know Brady is the leader in this field and I have used their products in the past but I wonder if anyone has used any other manufacturer they can comment on? I found the K-Sun Green Machine but I am not sure how does it compare to lets say Brady BMP71 and how much more expensive or cheaper their consumables are? Any other products worth mentioning?
