External Print Trigger Setup
To setup an external print trigger:
(1) On the TouchPanel, select
Home > Setup > Production line setup > Print trigger
.
(2) Select the
Trigger by
drop down setting and select
External
.
(3) Select the
Active level
drop down setting and select whether a
High
or
Low
input signal will
trigger a print.
Note:
Current level displays the current print trigger input signal level, either high or low.
(4) Select the
Print delay (mm)
setting and set the distance between where the product sensor
detects the product and the point where the label is printed.
Notes: (1)
The Print delay (mm) range depends on the printer configuration.
(2)
If the “Print trigger occurred while printing” error occurs, increase the Print delay (mm)
value. Or move the product sensor further away from the print head.
(5) If required, select
Product queue depth
setting and enter the number of print trigger signals
which can be queued in advance of printing (Default value: 256).
(6) If required, the
Product detect persistence (mm)
setting can be set to ensure that any noise
on the product detect input signal does not create false product detect triggers. The
product detect signal must be active longer than the
Product detect persistence
value
before the signal is recognised as valid (Default value: 1mm).
Notes: (1)
Set the Product detect persistence value as low as possible. If a high value is set then
the accuracy of Print delay setting will be affected.
(2)
If the print trigger signal is generated by an external machine, for example: An
extrusion line set to generate a print trigger after every meter of material has been
extruded. It is recommended to change the unit of measurement for Product detect
persistence value to time. The unit of measurement can be changed by a certified
engineer with a USB key.
(3)
If the print trigger signal is generated by a product sensor detecting physical products.
It is recommended to set the unit of measurement for the Product detect persistence
value by distance.
End of procedure.
