Setting Print Parameters
Before the text prepared in section
4.4
is printed, all the required print parameters need to be set. The parame-
ters determine the print rate, the location of the print on objects to be labeled, the direction in which the object
moves in front of the print head, the date offset (to set expiry date), etc.
Set the print parameters in the following way:
Active text : DATE
Name of active text.
Linked param. :
Name of parameter block linked to the active text.
Height (pix) : 16
Height of the active text, given as a number of dots.
Height : LARGE
Print height.
Speed : SLOW
Maximum print speed.
Generator : GEN/ SHAFT
The source of timing signals: the internal generator or shaft-encoder.
Resol. dot/cm : 20
Character resolution (recommended for a given combination of
the
Height
,
Speed
and
Height (pix)
parameters).
Cnv spd m/min : 10.0
The speed at which an object moves in front of the print head if
the internal generator is used for timing (
Generator
=
GEN
).
Enc const p/m : 10000
The number of pulses generated by the shaft-encoder over
the distance of 1 meter. Print rate must suit the conveyor travel speed
(
Generator = SHAFT
).
Vert. direct. : STANDARD
Printing in the vertical direction. Prints can be made normally or upside
down.
Space : 2.0 mm
The distance from the point where the photo-detector has been acti-
vated to the point where printing of a text file starts.
Text rpt. : 1
Number of printing text repetitions.
Rpt.dist. : 30.0 mm
The distance between the beginnings of texts (if
Text rpt.
> 1).
Conv. direct. : LEFT
The direction (left or right) conveyor moves in front of the print head.
Offset : 100
An offset (number of days) from the current date to the expiry date.
Offset2 : 1
An offset (number of days) from the current date to the expiry date.
Counter delta : 1
Incremental/decremental counter increment/decrement. The parameter
is used by the
Up counter
and
Down count.
variable fields.
Row repetit. : 1
The number specifying how many times every vertical row will be
printed.
Mode : NORMAL
Selection of max print speed mode. The parameter can only be modi-
fied after the service password has been given.
You can choose a parameter to be modified by means of the touch panel (the screen can be scrolled with
the , icons) or the keys. Parameter settings are changed with the icons or by typing in
a setting via the keyboard (this applies to numerical parameters) and confirming with the icon. For
the
Active text
