Print Speed By setting the conveyer speed beforehand, the details of the items set by the distance such as print position and horizontal dot pitch, etc., are correctly expressed in the print results. Print speed can be set for each message in the range 1.0 to 350.0m per minute. In reality, however, the settable range depends on the number of scan dots, the horizontal dot pitch, and the interspacing.
Advanced Use Filter Print commands use photoelectric sensors or external signals. If chattering occurs in these signals, trouble such as failure to print, print position error, or skipping numbering, etc., may occur. This occurs due to the chattering timing and a characteristic that ignores print commands entered during CCS-R print operations (print position standby and printing after the print command has been entered).
Page 59
If the space between jobs is too great: skipping numbering Chattering Narrowew interval Print command Print position standby In progress Printing Stop Numbering skipping Ready Ready to receive print command Busy Printed outside the print target due to chattering CCS-R is equipped with a "filter" function to prevent this type of trouble. The "filter" functions to remove exceptional print commands by performing compensation within the CCS-R even if chattering occurs in the photoelectric sensors (or external signals).
Page 60
