Frequency
Displays the speed of incoming encoder pulses. (Raw data in
Parenthesis)
0-100 kHz
Max Encoder
Speed
Captures the maximum speed that encoder pulses. Helpful to
ensure width valve is fair.
Varies
Max Print Speed
The maximum number of rasters per second the printer can
print.

Missed Encoder
Increments when an encoder pulse arrives prior to the
currently printing raster being finished printing. Indicates that
width is too low for the selected message.
Should be 0 when width is properly
configured.
“Warning: Actual exceeds max, print will stretch” prompt
The “Warning: Actual exceeds max, print will stretch” message will occur when the Actual Print speed is greater than the
Max Print Speed. Increase the width value until the message goes away or use a faster speed.
Check on the Status screen to see if Missed Prints, Missed Encoder, or Missed Photo Eye are increasing. Continue to
increase width and selecting faster print speed until these values stop incrementing.
