NOTE: If the intensity is set to a higher value, ink consumption increases.

Mode of Timing
Timing determines the moments at which vertical rows of text are printed. Timing can be synchronised
using:
•
a shaft-encoder – by setting the Impulse generator parameter to External .
•
an internal generator – by setting the Impulse generator parameter to Fixed speed .
Fig. 3.3.9.6.
NOTE: When printing is timed by an internal generator, the print rate is not synchronised with the
printer travel rate.

Object Travel Speed
In order to ensure that labels are clearly visible, the frequency of printing vertical rows needs to match
the travel speed at which objects move in front the printer.
This adjustment can be made with the help of the following print parameters:
•
Encoder constant – type in the number of pulses per meter (ranging from 1000 to 99999) of the
built-in encoder, if the Impulse generator parameter is set to External .
Fig. 3.3.9.7.
•
Conv speed – type in the printer travel rate expressed as a number of metres per minute (the
setting range from 1 to 99999 can be restricted by the program), if the Impulse generator
parameter is set to Fixed speed .
