After the photo detector has been activated, the printing starts. The procedure varies,
however, according to the timing mode:
•
If the printing is timed by an internal generator, overprints are made no matter
whether the product(s) move or not. If the product does not move, a very narrow
overprint is made and a single vertical row is printed only (!).
•
If the printing is timed by an shaft-encoder, overprints are made only when the
shaft-encoder axle rotates.
If the width of characters is incorrect, adjust the print rate following the instructions given
in section
4.6 Adjusting the Print Rate
.
If prints are made too fast, the print quality tends to be poor. You can recognize it easily
by discontinuous print as the print rate control system ignores some of the timing pulses.
In effect the character width may get out of proportion. See also section
4.6 Adjusting
the Print Rate
.
If the
STOP PRINTING
command is selected during the printing, the current overprint is
finished and the operation stops (high voltage is turned off). In the event the
shaft-encoder is used, this stage may take longer (especially when long print is made and
the shaft-encoder axle stops rotating after the conveyor has been stopped). Some
commands may not be accepted then (and the message
CHANNEL ACTIVE
is shown on
the terminal display). To speed the process up, move the shaft-encoder axle a little to
complete the overprint.

How to Print the Current Date and Time
Assumption:
It is 25
th
July 2003, 10:34 hours; the overprint should look like as follows:
1)
Define four
