The display shows the print rate determined by the internal generator or
shaft-encoder, according to the setting of the
Generator
parameter in the
PRINTING PARAMETERS
command.
If the
Generator
print parameter is set to
GEN
, the print rate depends on the
Resol. dot/cm
and
Cnv spd m/min
print parameters. If the
Generator
parameter is set to
SHAFT
, the print rate depends only on the rotational speed of the
shaft-encoder axle.
4.4.3.9. Printing
with
the Use of a Code Switch
In order to exchange the text while it is printed use the following procedure as
standard: select the
STOP PRINTING
command, then the
START PRINT
command
and type in the name of a file to be printed.
If you need to replace text files frequently, a special feature has been developed for
EBS series printers to exchange text files easily and quickly. This feature is a Code
Switch. The device is offered in two versions:
(1).
The standard
Code Switch
consists of a code switch emulated by the printer’s
terminal. It is started by pressing the
F5
terminal key. Enter a four-character
text-file name via keypad and press the
V
key at the moment when you
wish to exchange the file.
(2).
The optional Code Switch
consists of an external unit manufactured by EBS. It is
plugged into a female connector on the printer housing and equipped with
a simple keypad and a display. The unit offers many additional functions apart
from the basic functions of a typical Code Switch.
More information about printing with the use of a Code Switch is given in a separate
document.
4.4.3.10. Viewing Files on the Terminal Display
You can view the text file being printed. In the main MENU select the
PRINTING
item
and then the
DISPLAY PRINTED TEXT
item.
The terminal display shows the text file that is printed, for example the
ABCD
file:
NOTE:
•
The
DISPLAY PRINTED TEXT
command is available only when the printer is in
the
mode.
•
If a complex text file is printed at a high rate, it may happen that the current
values of special registers contained in the text file are not displayed. The
reason for this is that the processor time priority for this command is lower than
for printing and therefore some print data are not displayed.
