SETUP PARAMETERS, cont'd.
Feed Adjustment:
The Feed Adjustment contains two parameters, Start adjustment
and Stop adjustment, that will be effected regardless of which
program is run. Such global adjustments can be further modified for
various purposes by the use of
FORMFEED
s within the currently
running program.
Note 1: It is possible to turn off the label stop sensor for a certain
amount of paper feed, and to override the start adjustment and stop
adjustment setup by means of
LBLCOND
statement, see UBI Finger-
print manuals.
Note 2: In case of 11.81 dots/mm (300 dpi) thermal printhead
(TPH) density, the paper feed is actually 12 dots/mm, which affects
all measures along the paper web. In most cases, the difference will
be hard to notice, but in case of large values, this fact must be
considered. There is no such difference for the 8 dots/mm (203.2
dpi) printers.
The Start Adjustment is given as a positive or negative number of
dots:
• A positive start adjustment means that the specified length of
paper web will be fed out before the printing starts. Accordingly,
the origo is moved away from the forward edge of the copy. (This
has the same effect as a positive
FORMFEED
before a
PRINTFEED
).
• A negative start adjustment means that the specified length of
paper web will be pulled back before the printing starts.
Accordingly, the origo is moved towards the forward edge of the
copy. (This has the same effect as a negative
FORMFEED
before
a
PRINTFEED
).
The Stop Adjustment is set up the same way.
• A positive stop adjustment means that the specified length of
paper web will be fed out after the printing is completed.
Accordingly, the origo is moved away from the forward edge of
next copy. (This has the same effect as a positive
FORMFEED
after
a
PRINTFEED
).
• A negative stop adjustment means that the specified length of
paper web will be pulled back after the printing is completed.
Accordingly, the origo is moved towards the forward edge of next
copy. (This has the same effect as a negative
FORMFEED
after a
P
RINTFEED
).
Detection, cont'd.
TPH density 8 dots/mm (203.2 dpi):
Both directions:
1 dot = 0.125 mm = 4.92 mils
TPH density 11.81 dots/mm (300 dpi):
Across the web (11.81 dots/mm):
1 dot = 0.085 mm = 3.33 mils
Along the web (12 dots/mm):
1 dot = 0.083 mm = 3.28 mils
