Linx 8800 and 8900 series CIJ printers are workhorses on packaging and production lines worldwide. The missing piece is connecting them to cloud-defined coding jobs — date, batch, lot, expiry, and serialized QR — without manual operator intervention for every changeover. AIQR Print Gateway bridges the RCI protocol layer to your cloud systems.
Move from manual coding entry to cloud-connected, automated, traceable production coding on Linx lines.
Native RCI protocol layer that speaks directly to Linx 8800/8900 printers — handling connection, commands, and status at the protocol level.
Expose Linx printer capabilities through a clean REST API, enabling any cloud system, ERP, or MES to trigger and manage coding jobs.
A cross-platform desktop application for operators — monitor printer status, manage jobs, and handle exceptions without touching raw protocols.
Push date codes, batch numbers, lot IDs, and expiry information from cloud systems directly to the printer without manual entry.
Print unique serialized codes for track-and-trace, authentication, or regulatory compliance — each unit gets a unique identifier.
Package the gateway as a portable application for easy deployment across multiple factory sites without complex IT infrastructure.
A Linx CIJ deployment translates cloud-issued coding jobs through an RCI protocol gateway to the printer.
Real protocol work, real gateway architecture, real operator tooling — ready for physical printer testing.
Existing protocol layer handles Linx-specific connection management, command formatting, and response parsing at the packet level.
Job orchestration, status tracking, and retry logic designed for production reliability — not just a demo that sends one message.
Electron-based desktop application provides a production-ready operator interface with status monitoring and job management.
Marked ready for physical printer testing — the next step is connecting to real Linx 8800/8900 hardware on a production line.

Where Linx CIJ integration becomes commercially strong.
Eliminate manual date code entry on production lines. Push coding data from ERP or cloud systems directly to Linx printers for every changeover.
Let cloud systems or MES platforms trigger coding jobs on Linx printers in real time — no operator intervention needed for standard runs.
Print unique serial numbers or QR codes per unit for regulatory traceability, anti-counterfeit, or supply chain visibility programs.
We can review your Linx model, RCI protocol requirements, coding workflow, and whether your use case needs operator UI, REST API integration, or a full gateway deployment.
