9.7 Ribbon Save (Continuous Mode)
Off
No ribbon save.
Standard
Maximum ribbon save performance, i.e. with this
setting there is no loss of transfer ribbon (apart from
the safety distance of 1 mm, so the print fields are not
printed one into the other).
No settings are allowed with which the ribbon save no
more cannot be achieved. This particularly applies for
the print offset, which can only be adjusted now in the
valid range (see chapter 15.2, page 110).
Shift
Layout data can be printed several times laterally
displaced. A maximum utilization of transfer ribbon can
be achieved (see chapter 15.3, page 112).
SaveStrt
No start signal loss, direct print module regulates the
ribbon save quality automatically according to
requirement.
Automatic layout ribbon save and field ribbon save,
each without feedback (see chapter 15.4, page 115).
Determination of max. print speed.
On the base of this value all necessary calculations e.g. feedback
distance and smallest possible print offset are being calculated.
Example
Speed = 400
Mode = Standard
Very good ribbon save result between
50 mm/s and 400 mm/s.
However, if you print with a speed higher than 400 mm/s, then the
ribbon save result is decreased and/or the ribbon save can no longer
be executed, because the back-feed way was designed to 400 mm/s.
Please consider: if speed is set to 400 and only 300 mm/s are printed,
then a smaller number of cycles is reached as if speed is set to 300,
however a reserve of 100 mm/s is still available.
Therefore the speed value should be always set to the maximum print
speed. If the number of cycles is not sufficient, the rewind correction
should be applied.
