1. A coder assembly for printing on containers or on labels that can be applied to containers, the coder assembly comprising:
- a base;
a support member pivotably coupled to the base and cantilevered from the base;
a coder supported by the support member and movable with the support member relative to the base; and
an adjustment mechanism coupled between the coder and the support member and configured to adjust the position of the coder with respect to the base and the support member;
wherein the adjustment mechanism is operable to move the coder along at least one of a substantially horizontal axis and a substantially vertical axis without using tools.

15. A coder assembly for printing on containers or on labels that can be applied to containers, the coder assembly comprising:
-
a base; a support member movably coupled to the base; a coder supported by the support member and movable with the support member relative to the base; and a plurality of abutment members between the support member and the base, wherein the abutment members are configured to limit the spacing between the support member and the base; wherein a first abutment member having a first length spaces the support member from the base in a first operating position, and wherein a second abutment member having a second length spaces the support member from the base in a second operating position. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

28. A coder assembly for printing on containers or on labels that can be applied to containers, the coder assembly comprising:
-
a base having a bottom surface supported by a machine surface; a coder; a support member configured to support the coder, the support member cantilevered from the base and spaced from the machine surface such that no portion of the support member or the coder is in contact with the machine surface; and a plurality of abutment members between the support member and the base, wherein the abutment members are configured to limit the spacing between the support member and the base; wherein the plurality of abutment members are carried on a turret, and wherein the turret is adjustable to selectively position any one of the plurality of abutment members between the support member and the base.
