Print Trigger
Go to
Settings > Production Line Setup > Print Trigger
This menu changes for CM printers and for IM printers.
Set details of how printing is triggered:
(1)
Trigger By:
• For CM printers, from the pull-down menu, select the source for the print trigger
- External Input, Internal (Distance) (which prints continuously while the print
trigger is closed) or Internal Continuous (which prints continuously while a valid
message is selected and there are no errors or warnings active).
• For IM printers, the source options for the print trigger are External Input, Internal
(Time) or Internal Continuous.
Note: When using the Internal (Distance / Time) option, the distance / time is set by the extra
parameter.
• When the print trigger is open, voltage is low - when it is closed, voltage is high.
(2)
Active Level:
The default is to start printing when the voltage is rising (i.e., when the
contacts are closed). It only triggers when the voltage rises.
(3)
Start on External Trigger:
For IM printers, this setting is available if
Trigger By
is set
to Internal (Time).
