I was wondering if there is a way to integrate FoxJet printers into the ignition system. Here is the manual I saw

I would appreciate any ideas/ directions.

What exactly are you trying to achieve by linking these inkjets with Ignition?

@David_Stone  
We are trying to get the basic data of the system up time. Downtime. Fault codes.  
Batch Number, SKU number and Exp date on the label.

From what I read there is no external data access on these units. Given they run XP, I don't think they should even be used anymore on a plant floor with any network for security reasons.

Nothing wrong with using an XP system for running a process, just don't connect it to a network any more.
