External Control - Panasonic LP-GS Series Operation Manual

Cause:
The line speed control measured with two sensors is not consistent with
the actual line speed during the marking process.
Remedy:
• Place the trigger sensor closer to the line speed measuring sensor to
reduce the difference between the speed at the point of measurement
and the point of marking.
• Adjust the setting value for "Distance line speed sensors [mm]" by
checking the marking quality.
‒ When the character spacing is too wide, increase the value.
‒ When the character spacing is too narrow, decrease the value.
