10.10 Ribbon Saving STANDARD (Continuous Mode)

10.10.1 Required Parameters

Determination of max. print speed.
On the base of this value all necessary calculations e.g. feedback
distance and smallest possible print offset are being calculated.
Speed = 400
Mode = Standard
However, if you print with a speed higher than 400 mm/s, then the
ribbon saving result is decreased and/or the ribbon saving can no
longer be executed, because the back-feed way was designed to 400
mm/s.
Please consider: if speed is set to 400 and only 300 mm/s are printed,
then a smaller number of cycles is reached as if speed is set to 300,
however a reserve of 100 mm/s is still available.
Therefore the speed value should be always set to the maximum print
speed. If the number of cycles is not sufficient, the rewind correction
should be applied.
0 mm = It is always so far retracted that an optimal ribbon saving is
reached (no loss of transfer ribbon). This is rather rarely realised, as
the ribbon position can deviate because of inaccuracies at speed
measurement (encoder).
Default: -1 mm
−xx mm = The feedback can be made smaller. It causes loss of
transfer ribbon but the number of cycles is increased. If the value is
increased to the complete backfeed length then the direct print
module sets automatically the max. value and no more backfeed is
accomplished.
+xx mm = The feedback can be made larger. This causes that it is
printed onto the transfer ribbon in the previous printout.
Operating Manual
Very good ribbon saving result between
50 mm/s and 400 mm/s.
