Problems with the Print Go Signal 
•  The most common print signal related issue on the SmartDate X40 is error 1207, 
‘Multiple Missed prints’ 
•  This error often occurs when using a ‘noisy’ mechanical relay to provide the print 
signal 
•  The ideal solution is to replace the mechanical relay with a solid state type device 
or an opto-isolated component (optocoupler) 
•  Where this is not possible, use the Debounce parameter to compensate 
 
 
Debounce Time 
 
•  This is an Intermittent Printer 
setting. 
•  This is the time that the PRINT 
GO signal must be present 
before it is accepted 
• Set the Debounce Time long 
enough to stop the Printer 
from seeing the false print 
trigger
