Installation
2. Setup Encoder
3. Length Counter
2. Enter the value directly or use right/left <Adjust Key> to adjust the value
as the "message width" to meet the production demand.
3. Press <Ok> to confirm it.
The setting steps are listed as followed:
1. Enter <Print Setup-3>, select <Encoder Setup>. It displays as below:
Status:
Printer is enable to
Saturn Technologies Co. Ltd
Encoder Status
Frequency Divide
Frequency Multiple
2. If the Frequency Divide and Frequency Multiple can not be selected,
please check if FCU frequency control unit has been installed correctly.
(See CAUTION of Chapter Four 4-7page)
3. You can setup the status of encoder to be on or off if an encoder has
been installed. "On" means that the print speed is controlled by the
encoder. You can divide or multiple the frequency of the encoder to adjust
the width of message. "Message Width" is only used to control the print
quality. "Encoder is Off" shows that the "Message Width" controls the
printing speed.
4. Press <Ok> to confirm it.
Caution:
The higher the "Frequency Divide" is, the wider the printing message,
and the higher the "Frequency Multiple" is, the narrower the printing
message.
If the "Encoder Select" is on, it only can control the print speed under the
print speed limit of the printer itself. It happens that the width of message
will be out of control (maybe wider than normal) if it is over the speed
limit available (The speed limit is according to the "Message Width" in
<Print Setup-1>). At that time, you must decrease the product line speed
or increase value of "Message Width" or adjust the width of printing
message through adjusting "Frequency Divide/Multiple".
If no encoder has been installed, you must not setup "Encoder Select" at
"On", or else it cannot print anything because the printer can't receive
any signal of the encoder.
If there is a need to print once in each interval of a certain length or certain
products, length counter becomes necessary. FCU (frequency control unit) is
necessary to control the print interval to ensure all the intervals are the same.
If there is a need to count meters by printer, length counter is also needed. The
operation is as follow:
Ok (F1)
Cancel (F2)
