3.5 Setting Repeat Printing
(1)Overview
¡
This is set to print the same print description continuously.
¡
Set the "Repeat intervals" and "Repeat count" for repeat printing.
Repeat intervals
¡
The print target size can be specified.
¡
This setup is to be performed when the print target is transported while it
is in close contact.
¡
Perform the following calculations for repeat intervals setup
purposes.
(i) On an individual scan basis
(1-digit character width
×
number of digits - trailing character correction value)
×
(print target size/all-digit print width)
(ii) On an individual character basis
Number of digits × (print target size/all-digit print width)
(Example) Print target size: 64 mm; all-digit print width: 25 mm;
number of digits: 6; character size: 5 × 7 dots; inter-character
space: 2 dots
・On an individual scan basis

・On an individual character basis

¡
Round off the calculation results to the nearest whole number.

Repeat count
¡
You can preset the number of repeat printing sequences to be
performed while the sensor light is blocked.
¡If
repeat
printing is not needed, select the number "0".
¡Printing is performed in accordance with the
repeat
printing mode setup.
¡
The relationship between repeat printing mode and count is as stated
below.

Printing is repeated a
preselected number of
times at predefined
intervals while the print
target is detected.
Repeat printing is
performed while the print
target is detected.
9999
Printing is repeated a
preselected number of
times at predefined
intervals once the print
target is detected.
Once the print target is
detected, repeat printing
is performed until it is
aborted.
