4.8.6 Encoder
The Encoder is used in conjunction with Continuous printers.
The Encoder is used to calculate the current Substrate speed and adjust the
ribbon speed to match.
The recommended Encoder used with SmartDate 5 is a Quadrature style
encoder. (Bi-directional)
The four wires from the Encoder connect into the printer through a 9 way D type
connector on the printer body.
This connection also provides connection points for two customer configurable
outputs.
These are options that can be set up at the controller interface.
