Single Channel Encoders

Single channel encoders can be used with SmartDate X40 continuous printers, but will
not be as efficient as quadrature encoders.
The substrate movement is recorded in one direction only, any drift backwards is not
accounted for.
The setting for this type of encoder is External - Pulse train. This covers single channel
encoders and bagging machines that output a single channel movement signal.

Fixed Speed settings

This setting can be used if the substrate runs at a constant known speed. The set-
ting for this method of running is Internal, and the substrate speed must be manually
entered.
With images that are longer than 50mm the encoder must be re calibrated
