NOTE:
•
If the message CHANNEL ACTIVE is displayed after the START PRINT
command has been selected, this means that the printer is in the
print
mode.
Stop the printing (with the STOP PRINTING or QUICK STOP commands) and
repeat the START PRINT command.
•
If the message TEXT NAME DOES NOT EXIST is displayed after the
START PRINT command has been selected, this means that the subfile name
does not exist in the library.
4.4.3.3. Quick Stopping the Printing
If the printing is stopped in the regular mode, the current print job is always
finished to the end. However, a need may arise to stop printing immediately
regardless of the state of the print job.
The printing is interrupted in the following way. In the main MENU select the
PRINTING item and then the QUICK STOP item.
If the command is selected while the printer is in the
print
mode, the printing is
interrupted and any further printing is suppressed. The printer switches to the
stop
mode.
If the printing is to be stopped but the current print job is to be finished, use the
STOP PRINTING command.
4.4.3.4. Print Parameters
With EBS printers you can make overprints on objects with a wide range of
shapes and sizes. The objects can be moved in their normal position or “upside
down”, automatically or manually, in front of the print head at various speeds and in
any direction (left or right). Character height, width, thickness, number of repetitions
and many other print parameters can be modified to fit your requirements.
The following parameters can be modified:
Vertical Direction ,
Initial Distance ,
Number of Repetitions ,
Distance Between Overprints ,
Horizontal Direction ,
Overprint Height ,
Date Offset 1 ,
Date Offset 2 ,
Counter Increment ,
Row Repetition ,
Ink drop Intensity ,
Timing Mode
,
Character Resolution
,
Conveyor travel speed
(for an internal
generator) or
Number of Pulses Generated
by External Encoder
(for an external SHAFT-
ENCODER) ,
Number of purging rows during the
automatic nozzle-purge procedure
,
Purge period during the automatic nozzle-
purge
Overprints are made with the adoption of current parameters that might differ from
those stored in the parameter-block library (see section
4.4.2 Using Print-parameter
Blocks
). The current settings decide what is printed on real objects.
The current parameters (called parameters further on) can be modified in the
following way:
´
Before the START PRINT command has been selected (the
stop
mode) you can
modify all parameters that are available for the PRINTING PARAMETERS
command in the PRINTING menu. The file to be printed may not be linked with
any parameter block.
´
In the
print
mode (after the START PRINT command has been selected) you can
modify the major part of parameters (but not all of them), which are available for
the
PRINTING PARAMETERS command.
