4 - AUTO REPEAT (LX1 WITH OP 1, 2 OR 3 OR LX 2) *********
This option enables the unit to continuously print
repeated codes at specified time intervals along
the entire length of the product. A time of 0
disables the Auto Repeat option. Use
or
to change the repeat time. Each number in the
time delay adds or subtracts a distance equivalent to the pre-defined setting.
Save your choice by pressing
. The maximum repeat spacing is 255 counts
where each count is equal to 80 character columns or 0.250”. This allows for a
total displacement of
63.75”.
Setting a print delay that uses the same
mathematical equation can increase this number. Thus a total displacement of
26.92” can be realized.
If a repeat time is greater than zero then the
auto repeat function is enabled. After entering a
repeat time the user is prompted to update the
printed data variable field contents or use the
same information for all printed messages.
When the UPDATE CODE option is enabled then variable field data; for
example a sequence number is updated on each printed message. Selecting the
SAME CODE feature will, in the above example, print the same sequence
number on all subsequent prints on the same product. Variable data will only be
updated when the next product passes in front of the printer.
An example of this is printing on a piece of plasterboard. With the count disabled
a sequence number, for example, will print the same serial number N times
across the length of the plasterboard. When the next board passes in front of the
print head the sequence number will be updated.
