Operation Mode Toggle Switch:
This toggle switch has three positions: “Automatic” at the top position; “Stop” at the
middle position; and “Manual” at the lower position. This switch commands the sys-
tem to operate in either “Automatic” or “Manual” mode of operation. To operate the
index system one complete cycle, press the toggle switch down to “Manual”.
You will note that the toggle switch does not “latch” in the “Manual” position, but
returns via a spring-loaded action to the middle or “OFF” position when released.
The index system will cycle one time, along with any print stations that are selected
to “ON”. Placing this toggle switch in the “Automatic” position while the index table
is in motion, will command the index system to operate in the automatic mode. The
dwell time for automatic operation is adjusted via the L.C.D. operator interface con-
trol panel to the extreme right of the Main Control panel. Instructions on how to adjust
the index dwell time are available on page 43 of this manual.
NOTE: When the Operation Mode toggle switch is selected to the middle or
“OFF” position, the index system will NOT operate.
Test Print Toggle Switch:
This toggle switch is designed to aid
the system operator when it is desired
to print only one garment to check for
registration or image quality. When this
toggle switch is placed in the “ON”
position, the control system will auto-
matically and sequentially command
each print station which is selected to
“ON”, to print one complete
flood/print cycle. The result will be one
printed garment at the end of the print
sequence, ready for inspection. In this
way, the press Operator is not required
to manually turn “ON” and “OFF” indi-
vidual print stations to print one sam-
ple garment.
Print Start/Print Finish Toggle Switch:
This toggle switch is provided as a
convenience when initially starting or
finishing a print run. It is designed to
eliminate the need to individually turn
“ON” or “OFF” print stations. Placing this
toggle switch in the “Print Start” position
will automatically command each print
station that is selected to “ON”, to print
sequentially at the start of a print run.
