To measure the conveyor belt travel speed:
1. Press
| |.
The general settings window is displayed.
2. Press next to the parameter | | Conveyor speed .
The measuring tool is displayed (see drawing).
3. Press to start measuring.
The measured speed at which the conveyor belt moves is dis -
played in the measurement window.
4. Press to enter the measured value as the value of the printing parameter Conveyor speed .
The conveyor belt travel speed measured with the measuring tool is entered as a printing parame -
ter.
The measurement is finished.
5. Press to save the setting.
If the above‑mentioned procedure cannot be followed ( e.g. when the printer is not equipped with
a photodetector), the conveyor belt travel speed can be measured with a tachometer and entered as
the value of the printing parameter
| | Conveyor speed [m/min].
Encoder parameters
If the speed at which the conveyor belt moves is not stable, an encoder must be used. In such a case:
– Printing is timed by pulses generated by the encoder
(the parameter of a project open for printing/being printed: | | Impulse generator
source = External source ),
– An encoder constant ( | | Encoder constant [puls/m]) needs to be entered
for the encoder to measure the conveyor belt travel speed correctly.
The procedure for measuring encoder parameters requires that the printer be equipped with a photode -
tector and an encoder.
