the printer automatically on a factory conveyor or manually, at a speed varying widely in range, in any
(left or right) direction and in their normal position or up-side down. The way of printing and
appearance of prints can be successfully customized with a set of modifiable print parameters such as
character width, boldface, number of repetitions and many others.
The following parameters can be modified:
Number of Nozzles,
Text Height,
Character Resolution,
Intensity of Ink Drops,
Mode of Timing,
Object Travel Speed
Inverting and Reversing a Text, Repeating a Text (Repetition),
Print Delay,
Distance between Text,
Row Repetition,
Buffering Texts while Printing,
Refreshing Variable Fields for Repetitions,
The printer performs its operation of printing with the use of so called current parameters . Unlike
parameters stored in the non-volatile memory (see section 3.3.3 Saving Text Files and Parameters
in the Printer Memory ), the current parameters have direct impact on the text printed and are stored
in the printer volatile memory.
The current parameters (hereinafter referred to as the parameters) can be modified in the following
way:
•
Every time the printer is switched on, the current parameters are set with settings stored in the
non-volatile read-only memory.
•
All parameters available in tab sheets on the parameter-block panel of the control program can be
modified. Before the printing starts, the modified parameters need to be transferred to the printer
by clicking the button. Print parameters stored in the non-volatile read-only memory
remain unmodified. If the current parameters are modified and replaced in the printer, the
parameters stored in the non-volatile read-only memory can always be restored by switching the
printer off and then on.
Number of Nozzles
This parameter defines the maximum number of print head nozzles, which simultaneously determines
the maximum height, or the number of dots, of a text to be printed -
H
max
[pix]. Depending on this
quantity, the program allows the use of the full or a limited number of fonts in text editing. To find out
how many nozzles your printer has, press the key (available after highlighting the Adv.
options field) in the control program window. On viewing the printer configuration in the
Parameters 1 tab sheet, the program displays the setting of the Number of nozzles parameter. At
the same time, the program displays a broken line in the text edit line. The broken line indicates the
text height,
H
max
(see Fig. 3.3.5.1 ). This facilitates the adjustments of fonts to the printing capabilities
of your printer.
Fig. 3.3.9.1.
NOTE: If you send to the printer and then print a text whose size (in dots) is greater than the value
of the
Number of nozzles parameter received from the printer, then the text will be
truncated at the H
max
level.
