Encoder
The Encoder menu allows you configure various settings related to the Continuous
printer speed encoder.
The following Encoder options can be configured:
Setting Description
Encoder Type
Range: External Quadrature, Internal
or External Pulse Train.
Default: External Quadrature
This allows your to set the Encoder type for Continuous printers.
Encoder Direction
Range: Clockwise or Anti-clockwise
Default: Clockwise
This allows you to set the forward direction of a quadrature encoder.
Encoder Resolution
Range: 2.8 to 150.00 pulses/mm
Default: 3.05 pulses/mm
This allows you to set the number of pulses per mm for an External encoder.
Max Film Speed
Range: 70 mm/s to 600 mm/s
Default: 300 mm/s
This allows you to define the substrate speed for an Internal encoder.
Speed Warnings
Range: Enabled or Disabled
Default: Enabled
This is Continuous printer feature.
This allows you to enable or disable the speed warnings option.
When enabled this will provide a warning if the substrate is out of the
acceptable speed range.
Failure Sensitivity
Range: Off, Low, Medium or High
Default: Off
This allows you to configure the sensitivity of the printer to incoming print
signals when no encoder signal is detected.
Speed Damping
Range: Off, Low, Medium or High
Default: Off
For use on high-speed applications – controls smoothing of the encoder
signal.
Speed Lag
Range: 3.0% to 20%
Default: 3.0%
For use on high speed applications – controls high-speed “tension control”
