LL1000P® Plate printer
E. OPTIMIZING CYCLE TIME ON NARROW TAGS. The LL1000P printer has been designed to print
across the full 3-inch width of every plate. However, in some cases the actual tag width may be
significantly less than 3-inches, and a cycle time improvement can be achieved by optimizing layout
parameters.
In the case of a 1x3 tag printed picket-fence style (long tag dimension parallel to plate length), the physical
plate width is 3-inches but the pocket only uses 1-inch of actual plate width. Reducing the programmed tag
width (Layout Designer…Setup-Geometry-Dimensions) to more closely match the tag & pocket width
dimension will significantly reduce printing cycle time.
NOTE:
it will be necessary to first move the tag layout fields “down”, to align them to the Y=0 coordinate,
before reducing the tag width.
NOTE:
for fastest cycle times, a tag size and orientation which permits printing the long dimension
ACROSS the plate instead of along the plate is preferred. For example, a 2.80 x 1.00 tag will generally
print faster than a 1.00 x 3.00 tag.
Note: For further instructions on designing tags, read the Producer Designer Manual that
accompanies the LabeLase
