Dover Markem-Imaje SmartDate X60 - High Speed and Interlace Modes

107 10056272-AA
 High Speed Mode
Not available with the SmartDate X60 when it is in Cost Saving mode.
The benefit of High Speed mode is that a print speed of up to 1000 mm/sec can
be achieved. 1200 mm/sec with the SmartDate X60.
This is accomplished by reducing the resolution of the print.
This option is useful when the substrate speed is high and a lower print resolution
is acceptable.
High Speed mode is a unique Markem-Imaje feature that allows printing speeds of
up to 1 m/s (dependent on the substrate and thermal ribbon used).
Using a unique way of driving the printhead (patent pending), increased print
speeds can now increase maximum speeds achievable, usually without regard to
the thermal ribbon or substrate used.
When running in High Speed mode, print resolution will be lower than normal
(current) operation. However, when enabled, this mode will:
• Increase the possible linear speed up to 1000 mm/s on ideal applications for
SmartDate X60.
• Increase the speeds obtained with low speed, higher permanency, resin/ hybrid
ribbons on all SmartDate X60 models.
• Increase the possibility of use for low speed coloured ribbons for SmartDate X60
models.
All of the above benefits are achieved with pure speed matching so that SmartDate X60
will maintain the current high reliability.
