Questions and answers
Tengo una pregunta la impresora imprime en un sentido Pero no imprime al regresar que puede pasar
The Domino AX Series printer may print in one direction but not when returning due to the encoder mode settings:
1. Backlash Mode: Printing only occurs during forward motion. When the line moves backward, printing pauses and a backlash count begins. Printing resumes when the count returns to zero after forward motion resumes.
2. Backlash Suppressed Mode: Printing also occurs only during forward motion, but it resumes immediately when forward motion restarts, without counting backward strokes.
In both modes, printing does not occur during backward movement.
