SECTION 2 - SETUP AND TIMING ISSUES
2-8
SmartDate 5 08/08
2.6.2 Start Border
This setting allows a number of blank lines (steps)(1 line = 0.083mm or 0.0033”)
before printing. This helps to compensate for certain printing applications where it
is difficult to obtain good print quality at the start of the print.
The value should be set to the lowest value possible to ensure good print quality.
Setting this too high will increase the overall cycle time, and limit the throughput.
This setting does not waste ribbon, as the ribbon drive will only wind on the
amount of ribbon actually printed on.
Default - 2.0 mm
2.6.3 End Border
This setting allows a number of blank lines (steps)(1 line = 0.083mm or 0.0033”)
after printing. This helps to compensate for certain printing applications where it is
difficult to obtain good print quality at the end of the print.
The value should be set to the lowest value possible to ensure good print quality.
Setting this too high will increase the overall cycle time, and limit the throughput.
This setting does not waste ribbon, as the ribbon drive will only wind on the
amount of ribbon actually printed on.
Default - 0.5 mm
2.6.4 Head In Time
This typically need never be changed, as it is the time allowed for the Printhead to
move in from the substrate to the normal position.
Default - 5ms
2.6.5 Ribbon Advance Distance
This allows you to set the distance the ribbon advances between prints (in
addition to the length of the print)
Default - 1mm
