Interpreting the graph
Assuming you decide to wait for the capture process to complete, a graph will be
automatically displayed on screen. The following diagram shows how to interpret details
within the graph.
Printing
Max print speed
Low speed threshold
Substrate speed
Print go signal
Ticks every
100 mm/s
Print-go signals are displayed as green blocks beneath the X axis while the substrate
speed is shown above. Note – this is the raw activity level of the print-go signal
and may not relate to a print if it is rejected due to debouncing or the print-go ignore
function. The period for which the SmartDate is actively printing (ie. the from the first to
last printed dot) is displayed as a vertical grey bar.
Tick marks up the side of the graph are placed every 100 mm/s.
Important substrate speed thresholds are shown as horizontal lines:
• A dotted green line defines the low speed threshold - as defined in the system’s
settings.
• When relevant to the current print mode, a dotted orange line defines the high
speed threshold.
• A dotted red line defines the maximum print speed – as defined by the print mode
setting.
Examination of this graph should allow you to optimise when the system prints so that
printing occurs at an appropriate substrate speed that is stable.
