PRINTING MESSAGES
Before a message can be printed it must be loaded in a group and that group
configured to the install configuration.
A group is an assembly of print heads. Depending on the G-Series model, the
printer can have up to 4 groups and one group can combine 1, 2, 3 or 4 print
heads, with a maximum of 4 heads per controller. Refer to “Configuration”
on page 2-8 for a detailed description of available configurations.
When printing, a group is linked to a message (including parameters:
resolution, margin/offset, print area, alignment, print direction and print
speed), to a start signal and to a speed (fixed or measured by a shaft encoder).
Each group is set up during the printer installation.
Once a message is loaded in a group, the group must be activated for printing.
Notes: (1) The confirmation messages displayed when a message is put online to
print, or a message is loaded, can be inhibited from displaying. This
option can be selected through Service>Config>Assign Groups; see
“Assign Groups” on page 3-7.
(2) If you do not inhibit the display of confirmation messages you will need to
deactivate any activated Group to which you wish to load a new message.
