Abstract: A printing system is disclosed. The system includes a laser configured to produce a printing beam for printing a code on a product, the laser being at most a 25 Watt laser and a housing including a printing beam exit member through which the printing beam exits the housing. The system also includes an optics assembly within the housing. The optics assembly focuses the printing beam on a product which is adjacent to the housing.

Abstract: A method for printing is described. The method includes providing a printing system for printing a code on a product moving in a direction. The code is constructed from a plurality of pixels in a first data set indicating the positions of the pixels and generates a corrected data set indicating the position that each pixel would occupy if each pixel was moved at the velocity of the product until the pixel was printed. The method also includes printing the code according to the corrected data set.
