•
If the printing is timed by the internal generator, overprints are made no matter
whether the object(s) move or not. If the object fails to move, a very narrow overprint
is made and a single vertical row is printed only (!).
•
If the printing is timed by the shaft-encoder, overprints are made only when the shaft-
encoder axle rotates.
´
If the width of characters printed is incorrect, adjust the print rate following instructions
given in section
4.6 Adjusting the Print Rate
.
´
If the print rate is too fast, overprint quality tends to be poor. You can recognize it easily by
discontinuous overprint as the print rate control system ignores some of the timing pulses.
In effect the character width may get out of proportion. See also section
4.6 Adjusting the
Print Rate
.
If the STOP PRINTING command has been selected during the printing, the current overprint
is finished and the operation stops. In the event the shaft-encoder is used, this stage may
take long (especially when long overprints are made and the shaft-encoder axle stops rotating
after the conveyor has been stopped). Some commands may not be accepted then (and the
message
CHANNEL ACTIVE is shown on the display). To speed the process up, move the
shaft-encoder axle a little to complete the overprint.
5.2. Creating and Printing Sample Text Files
NOTE:
The following notation is used in the examples below:
represents one space character,
text
means text-file contents to be input via the terminal keypad.
5.2.1. How to Print the Current Date and Time?
Assumption: the printer is equipped with a 16 nozzle head; it is 25
th
July 2003, 10:34
hours; the overprint should look like as follows:
1) Define four T
EXT
type subfiles, with two of them being special registers
Date
and
Time
.
See section
4.4.1.10 Using Special Registers
.
´
In the main MENU select the TEXT SERVICE item and then the
CREATE NEW TEXT item.
´
You are asked to type a file name. Input a four-character file name, e.g. DATI and
confirm.
Type : Text
Char. set : Latin 7x5
Typeface : Normal
Distance : 2
Rotation : None
Spec.reg. : None
•
Set parameters for the first subfile (the § key)
and confirm.
•
Input contents for
the first subfile:
DATE : .
•
Press the « ¡ keys to create a new subfile on
the right of the previous one.
Spec.reg. : Date
•
Set parameters for the second subfile, as above,
and change the setting for Spec.reg. and confirm.
•
Input contents for
the second subfile:
00.00.00 .
•
Press the « ¤ keys to create a new subfile
below two previous ones.
