Print-Rate Mode
1 Mode
2 NORMAL , FAST
3 NORMAL
4 NO
The print rate is timed by an internal generator or a shaft-
encoder as standard. The internal generator (or shaft-encoder)
determines the timing of the printing of vertical rows. When the
print rate reaches its high level, the quality of print lowers. The
reason for the lower quality is that the print control system
needs to react to pulses coming from the internal generator
(shaft-encoder) and to synchronise with them. If the pulse
processing system is turned off, the print control system
switches to timing by itself in the optimal (in this case - the
fastest) way.
If the Mode parameter is set to FAST , the print control system
ensures that the prints are made at the maximum possible rate.
Note that the internal generator or shaft-encoder are turned off,
and if the travel speed changes, the print width may vary.
NOTE:
•
If the Speed parameter is set to FAST and the adjustment of frequency of the internal
generator (or transmission of the shaft-encoder) are not sufficient to obtain proper and
visible overprints, the printing can still be sped up by setting the print-rate mode to
FAST .
•
When the print rate is set to its maximum (the Mode parameter is set to FAST ), the
internal generator and shaft-encoder have no effect on the print rate.
Print Rate

3 SLOW
4 NO
The parameter defines the maximum rate at which an overprint
is made. According to the setting of the
Speed parameter,
different sequences of dots are used for printing. It is
recommended that the print rate be as low as possible (the
lower the print rate, the better the print quality).
Interleaving
1 Interleave
2
NO , STANDARD ,
MULTILINE
3
STANDARD
4 NO
Rows can be printed with or without the interleaving of dots. If
no interleaving is used, dots are printed one by one starting
from the lowest one, to produce a row. In interleaved printing,
first all odd, and then all even dots are jetted. The objective of
interleaved printing is to reduce interaction between dots which
lowers print quality.
Timing Mode
1 Generator
2 GEN , SHAFT
3
GEN
4 NO
The print rate is controlled by an internal generator or a shaft-
encoder. The internal generator (or shaft-encoder) determines
the timing of the printing of vertical rows. The
Generator
parameter is used to select the source of timing pulses - see
