DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS
Distance to left edge
The distance to the left edge is variable and depends on the position of the strip in the device
(between 5 and 80 mm).
Text Distance from left edge
The preset standard value does not usually require modification.
Line thickness
Grid lines are the separating lines between the individual terminal block inscriptions. Their thickness
value should not be larger than 0.5.
Separating line thickness
The thickness of the lines at the end of a strip (= cutting edge).
Stretch factor
If you are planning 100 terminal blocks with a width of 5 mm next to each other, you theoretically
require a strip with a length of 50 cm. In reality however, the terminal block may be a bit longer and
you require a strip with a length of e.g. 50.2 cm. This is quite normal, because small gaps may occur
between the individual terminal blocks.
The stretch factor results from: true strip length / theoretical strip length. Using the above example:
50.2 cm / 50 cm = 1.004
Printer factor
For each printer, the printer factor is determined by the factory prior to delivery. The value for your
printer is found in the attached "Important Information". This value should not be changed at a later
date.
