Print Trigger
This menu changes, depending upon whether the printer is in CM or IM.
Set details of how printing is triggered:
(1) Trigger By:
(a) In CM, from the pull-down menu, select the source for the print
trigger - External Input, Internal (Distance) (which prints
continuously while the print trigger is closed) or Internal
Continuous (which prints continuously while a valid message is
selected and there are no errors or warnings active).
(b) In IM, the source options for the print trigger are External Input,
Internal (Time) or Internal Continuous.
Note: When using the Internal (Distance / Time) option, the distance /
time is set by the extra parameter.
(c) When the print trigger is open, voltage is low - when it is closed,
voltage is high.
(2) Active Level: The default is to start printing when the voltage is rising
(i.e., when the contacts are closed). It only triggers when the voltage
rises.
(3) Start on External Trigger: In IM, this setting is available if Trigger By
is set to Internal (Time).
(4) Product Queueing: Some message editors such as EasyDesign have
a print count setting. This defines the number of times the message
should be printed.
Check box
enabled
If the current message contains a print count value, the
next message will be queued until the required number
of messages has printed.
Check box
disabled
When the next message is sent to print it will not be
queued and will replace the current message
immediately.
