PROGRAMMING THE PRINTER
77144 Issue 8 August 2009 85
OPTIONS
Message Revert
When printing a random system - where an external device selects the message
e.g. bar code scanner, PC, etc. - the revert message can be set so that a default
message is selected and printed when the external device does not select the
message.
The revert message can be selected from a list that is displayed when ‘Revert Back’
is enabled.
Communications
This takes you to a sub menu that gives the user the following options:
Action Comms
Normally enabled. When disabled the printer will not respond to control
characters from an external source.
Echo Data
Normally disabled. When enabled using the Multi-head Base control characters
are echoed out of the serial port.
Satellite Mode
If enabled allows the controller to change a message on another printer through
the serial link. Multi-head Base only.
Switches
This takes the user to a sub menu:
Shaft Encoder
A shaft encoder can be fitted to a production line, it’s rotation follows the speed of
the line, ensuring that the print speed changes accordingly.
For a Multi-head Base, the shaft encoder is plugged into the rear of the base unit
where the signal is then sent to all control units. For a 2 Litre or 200ml Base the
Shaft Encoder is plugged into the ACB.
At each control unit, the shaft encoder is enabled via the Options menu. To set the
printer to communicate with a shaft encoder, select the Options menu and
select Shaft Encoder. Toggle between Enabled and Disabled using the cursor keys.
