Relative Motion
The Relative Motion option is available on the Combined versions of the
SmartDate X60 only.
It can be used with both the Intermittent and Continuous options of the Combined
printers.
Relative Motion allows the SmartDate X60 to finish off a print that has been
interrupted during the normal printing process.
To access the Relative Motion mode setup menu, see section 6 Menus - Print
Features.
When using standard printing conditions the SmartDate X60 will behave in the
following ways:
Intermittent mode:
When printing with the SmartDate X60 in Intermittent mode, the substrate is required
to be stationary while printing takes place. If the substrate starts to move before
the print is complete, the resulting print will be elongated or compressed
depending on the direction of the substrate motion.
• If the substrate is moving in the same direction as the printhead carriage the print
will be compressed.
• If the substrate is moving in the opposite direction from the printhead carriagethe
print will be elongated.
• In both cases there is a high risk that the ribbon will break.
Continuous mode:
When printing with the SmartDate X60 in Continuous mode, the substrate is required
to be in motion while printing takes place. If the substrate stops moving during the
printing process, the resulting print will be incomplete.
Relative Motion allows you to configure the SmartDate X60 so that it will complete
the interrupted print. There will however be limitations in the length of the original
print. This is because of the available movement of the printhead carriage.
With Intermittent mode this will depend on the amount of movement already used
by the print carriage.
With Continuous mode this will depend on the limited amount of movement
around the print roller.
