BestCode NExT 82 - Single Sensor

BestCode Next Series 8 Technical Manual October 2022 Page 59 of 290
Encoder
Enable or disable the use of a encoder.
Multiply
Used to artifically create
more pulses per
revolution. Helpful at
high speeds
2x
Increases encoder resolution by 2x
X4
Increases encoder resolution by 4x
X8
Increases encoder resolution by 8x
X16
Increases encoder resolution by 16x
Directional
Encoder only sends pulses when moving in a forward or reverse direction. Should be used
when encoder is attached to gears or applications where the conveyor reverses and print
should not occur.
Single Sensor
This mode is for automatically determining the line speed during print without using a
shaft encoder. Requires the use of a single photocell. This is used on variable speed lines
where products are the same size.
Print
Resolution
Thedesired horizontal print resolution in either Rasters / inch or Rasters /
mm. Changes space between printed rasters.
Product
Length
The length of the product being printed on. This is required for the printer to
automatically determine the line speed.
Sensor 1
to Print
Slot
Distance
Distance from where the sensor detects the product and the slot where the
drops are printed out of the print head. Used to automatically set delay so
that print does not miss the product.
Product
Delay
Distance
Adjusts the distance from the edge of the product to the beginning of print.
Load
Defaults
Loads the Default values set for the printer (normally all 0), unless a profile is
created and saved using the Save Defaults button.
Save
Defaults
Saves the currently selected values on this page for quick setup on future
messages.
