Encoder (optional)
To make sure the print will be made exactly at the speed the substrate is moving an encoder can be
connected to the control unit. This encoder measures the substrate speed, based on which the control unit
will regulate the printspeed.
1.
Mount the encoder in such a position that it detects at least the movement of the product from the
moment photocell detects the product until the print is made. Mount the encoder as close as
possible to the location of the printhead.
2.
Set the lever tension with the spring clamp and the lever limiter so that the encoder wheel will not
slip, the product will not get damaged and the motion of the product will not get disturbed.
Fig. 6.19 Encoder adjustment
3.
Take precautions that the product cannot damage the encoder.
Beware:
Mount the encoder as close as possible to the location of the printhead. This will give the best print
results.

Mounting the control unit
1.
Find a secure location, which is easily accessible for operators, to mount the control unit.
2.
Locate the control unit on a position near the coding unit bracket and install the cable so that the
coding unit can rotate and move back and forth within the dimensions of the bracket.
3.
Check whether all of the cables mentioned below are long enough to be connected to the connectors
on the bottom of the control unit. If not, correct it by relocating either the coding unit or the control
unit and/or extend the cable(s) if possible (the cable between the coding unit an control unit should
not be extended).
4.
Mount the control unit on the determined location. Refer to Appendix B, Dimensions Control unit
for the dimensions of the mounting holes.
