  Print Cycle SmartDate X60 -  Intermittent Printer
The SmartDate X60 in this mode has a print area of 53mm x 75mm and print speeds of 
70 to 700mm/s.
The SmartDate X60 Intermittent prints when the substrate or label is stationary.
The printhead is moved out during the dwell time of the packaging /labelling machine, 
and then moved across the substrate / label while printing takes place.
The Intermittent model advances the ribbon during the return movement of the 
printhead. The ribbon is only advanced by the same amount as it prints. 
For example, if the image is 25mm long, the ribbon is advanced by 25 mm (plus any 
gap between prints). This keeps ribbon waste to a minimum. 
The SmartDate X60 Intermittent prints text and bar codes at any position within the 
53mm width by 75mm length print area.
The operating sequence is: 
A Print Go signal triggers the print delay timer.
The print delay elapses and the printhead moves into position.
The printhead moves along a linear slide and prints the required information.
The printhead retracts.
The printhead returns to its home position and the ribbon moves along ready for   the 
next print.
SmartDate X60 is now ready for the next print sequence.
