High voltage is disconnected. The green
PRINT ON/OFF
lamp on the main pad of the
external panel and the red
HV ON
lamp on the internal panel go out. The printer
switches to the
stop
mode.
If the printing is to be stopped but the current print job is to be finished, use the
STOP PRINTING command.
4.4.3.4. Suspending printing, editing the text and resuming the printing
While defining the contents and parameters of a text file to be printed and while
defining printing parameters for this text file you frequently need to perform the
following sequence of operations:
•
suspending printing,
•
editing the text file the printing of which you have just stopped,
•
resuming the printing.
The text you are printing can be edited without the need for stopping printing. You
can just use a new command,
EDIT & PRINT CURRENT TEXT , while you are still in
the PRINTING menu.
4.4.3.5. Print Parameters
With EBS printers you can make overprints on objects with a wide range of
shapes and sizes. The objects can be moved in their normal position or “upside
down”, automatically or manually, in front of the print head at various speeds and in
any direction (left or right). Character height, width, thickness, number of repetitions
and many other print parameters can be modified to fit your print requirements.
The following parameters can be modified:
Vertical Direction,
Initial Distance ,
Number of Repetitions ,
Distance Between Overprints ,
Horizontal Direction ,
Print Height,
Date Offset 1,
Date Offset 2 ,
Counter Increment ,
Row Repetition ,
Print-Rate Mode
,
Print Rate
,
Interleaving
,
Timing Mode
,
Print Resolution
,
Travel Speed
(for an internal
generator) or
Number of Pulses
Generated by External Encoder
(for
an external SHAFT-ENCODER).
The printer uses so called current parameters for printing. Unlike the library-stored
blocks of parameters (see section
4.4.2 Using Print-Parameter Blocks
), the current
parameters have direct impact on the printing result.
The current parameters (called “the parameters” hereafter) can be modified in the
following way:
Before selecting the START PRINT command (in the
stop
mode) you can modify
all parameters which are available for the PRINTING PARAMETERS command
in the PRINTING submenu. The file to be printed cannot be linked with any
parameter block.
During printing (on selecting the START PRINT command in the
print
mode) you
can modify the major part of the parameters (but not all of them), which are
available via the
PRINTING PARAMETERS command.
After a text file together with a parameter block associated with it have been
selected in the START PRINT command, print parameters are set with the
settings available in the selected block. Such parameters can be modified during
the printing.
