4.14.2 Set repeat printing
(1)Overview
●
This is set to print the same print description continuously.
●
Set the "Repeat intervals" and "Repeat count" for repeat printing.
●
Repeat printing can not be used when setting "Auto" on "Product speed matching".
Repeat intervals
●
The print target size can be specified.
●
This setup is to be performed when the print target is transported while it is in close contact.
●
After setting in character units or mm units, fine adjust in scan units.
●
When you want to input in mm units, input “Line speed”.
●
Perform the following calculations for repeat intervals setup purposes.
(i) On an individual scan basis
(1-digit character width × number of digits - trailing character correction value)
× (print target size/all-digit print width)
(ii) On an individual character basis
Number of digits × (print target size/all-digit print width)
1
●
1-digit character width = (horizontal character size + inter-character space)
×
character
width increase setting
●
Trailing character correction value = inter-character space
×
character width increase

(Example) Print target size: 64 mm; all-digit print width: 25 mm;
number of digits: 6; character size: 5 × 7 dots; inter-character space: 2 dots
●
On an individual scan basis
((5+2)×1×6-(2×1+1))×(64/25)=99.84
→
100
●
On an individual character basis
6×(64/25)=15.36
→
15
●
Round off the calculation results to the nearest whole number.
Repeat count
●
You can preset the number of repeats.
●
If repeat printing is not needed, set the number to "0".
●
Printing is performed in accordance with the repeat printing mode setup.
●
The relationship between the repeat printing mode and the count is as stated below.

Printing is repeated a preselected
number of times at predefined
intervals while the print target is
detected.
Repeat printing is performed
while the print target is detected.
