7. The controller can generate an output signal after each print trigger. This signal can be
monitored by an external system to confirm when a print has occurred. The signal can also
be used to maintain high speed data buering. The settings described below are used to
setup this output signal:
Item Details
Delay (mm) Set the distance that the production line will move, between when the
print trigger is received and the output signal is generated.
Length (ms) Select how long the output signal will be generated.
Trigger in alarm state Tick to continue generating the output signal when the controller is in an
alarm state.
Untick to stop generating the output signal when the controller is in an
alarm state.
1.Notes
If the "Print delay too short" alert occurs, increase the "Print delay (mm)"
value of the print group, see Print Group Setup on page 65. Or move the
product detect sensor further away from the print head.
2. On a very high speed production line, ensure the print head and product
detect sensor are one product apart to allow a good amount of delay. A
distance of 30 mm is recommended.
End of procedure.
Internal Print Trigger Setup
WARNING Hazardous Chemicals. Risk of eye and skin damage.
Wear protective equipment such as gloves and glasses when near the
printer.
Contact with chemicals can cause skin or eye damage.
Refer to Safety Data Sheet.
Note To use an internal print trigger, ensure the "Print start mode" of labels that are
sent to the print group is set to "Internal". see Label Settings on page 134.
Internal print trigger enables labels to be printed at fixed distance intervals when printing is
enabled. A product detect sensor is not required to use this feature.
To setup an internal print trigger:
1.
If the print group is active, stop the print group. Select STOP, select the print group and
select Stop.
2.
Select Home > Setup > Production line setup > Print trigger.
3.
Select a Print group tab, to choose which print group to setup.
4.
Select the Trigger by drop down setting and select Internal.
