In this mode the Spc.Md.max , Spc.Md.cnt and Pal.countr parameters are not available and
their values cannot be set.
EXAMPLE 1:
Creating a standard pallet counter.
Assumptions
: Packages moving on a factory conveyor are stored on a pallet in single
layers, with 4*5=20 packages in each layer. Packages are placed on the pallet in A and B
order and directions, as shown in the illustration. The pallets are put one onto the other in
4 layers (
C ) on every shelving in the store. The packages need to be labelled in such
a way that the pallet number and consecutive package number are printed on each pallet.
When the printing is interrupted and then resumed, the consecutive number is printed.
After 4 pallets (80 packages) have been labelled, the counter should be reset (i.e. set to
its minimum setting) and the counting resumed.
The text file to be printed contains a special register, that is a
universal counter
and the
text
000/000
typed via the keypad. Set the counter parameters to the following
settings:
Print beg. = CONTINUE , Mode = Standard , Beg.value1 =1,
Min.value1 =1, Max.value1 =4, Cnt.delta1 =1,
Beg.value2 =1, Min.value2 =1, Max.value2 =20,
Cnt.delta2 =1, Cnt.value2 =1, 0 suppress = NO
The following numbers are printed with the above settings:
001/001, 001/002, ... , 001/020, 002/001, 002/002, ... , 002/020, 003/001, ...... , 004/019,
004/020, 001/001, etc.
NOTE : If the numbering of packages has been disturbed for some reason during the
printing, the printing can be stopped, the Print beg. parameter can be reset to
BEG.VALUE , both counters can be reset to their initial settings ( Beg.value1
and Beg.value2 ) and the printing can be resumed.

Additional parameters of the universal counter are available in this mode. They are
Spc.Md.max , Spc.Md.cnt and Pal.countr – see the table above. With them the
numbering of products can be automated so that the subsequent packing and storing
