    SPE series Additional information 12 Additional information 12.1 Column printing With this print module several columns can be printed, i.e. the information of one column can be printed several times (depending on its width) on a label. Caused by this the use of the complete print width is possible and the generating time is enormously reduced.

  • Page 98: Backfeed/Delay

    Additional information SPE series 12.4 Backfeed/delay Backfeed operating In continuous dispensing mode (IO dynamic continuous, IO static modes continuous, IO photocell continuous) no optimised backfeed is possible. Because of the fact when changing the print order, then the current label in the offset sector is already printed from the old print order.
  • Page 99 SPE series Additional information No backfeed Peel off: After printing the label it is driven into the dispensing offset and there waited. When releasing a new start signal (IO dynamic) then the next label is immediately printed. Because of the fact that the label is already in the offset, the label is only printed from beginning of offset position, i.e.
