Principles of Operation
Introduction
This Principles of Operation document has been written to reflect the
characteristics of the FusionPunch II running in Cycle Up Mode. The
main difference between Cycle Up Mode and Online Mode is as fol-
lows:
•
Cycle Up Mode uses the C2 Signal (Cycle Up Signal) and the
S3 Signal (Sheet Delivered Signal), which all printers except
for the DT135 can support.
•
The Online Mode was originally designed to support only the
Status Signals and Command Signals that the DT 135 currently
uses. When running in the Online Mode the operation of the
punch stays the same except for the following signals:
The S3, S4, C2, C6, and C7 will not have an effect on the
operation. This will cause the FusionPunch II not to be
able to support Sheet Recovery as the DT 135 only allows
its own version of Set Recovery.
Note: If you are running the FusionPunch II inline with a DT135,
then you must run the FusionPunch II in Online Mode and NOT the
Cycle Up Mode.
Principles of Operation
Personality Profiles
The full benefit of the Personality Profiles is that they profile arrays of
information related to the External Finishing Devices. Each profile con-
tains data on an external finishing device's timing and operation so that
the printer can most closely match its performance to that of the fin-
isher. There must be one or more profiles for each finisher that will be
used in-line with the printer. Note that a finisher may have multiple
profiles if there are multiple operating modes, as there are instances
where there are timing or signal differences between modes of opera-
tion.
Personality Profiles are a function of the 4xxx Family and the DT61xx
Family. The DT 135 does not refer to these settings as Personality
Profiles. The DT 135 has NVM and FBN values, used to change the
different Statuses and Commands for the External Finisher's
characteristics.
