Continuous mode:
When using Continuous mode, the printer uses the encoder to determine if the
substrate has stopped moving before the print is complete.
The SmartDate X60 will then move the printhead carriage in the direction of the
unfinished print while following the contour of the print roller before returning to
the normal print carriage position.
1. Printhead carriage.
2. Printhead.
3. Print roller.
4. Direction of carriage during relative printing.
5. Direction of Substrate.
The maximum amount of travel available for the printhead carriage is set via the
SmartDate X60 menus.
For a standard Markem-Imaje 46 mm diameter roller this is 9 mm.
The Relative motion function will be initiated if the substrate speed drops below
the minimum print speed setting, and the amount of print left is less than the
maximum relative print travel minus the end border. If this is not achievable the
normal low speed print handling will be initiated.
A high resolution encoder is recommended.
