- Encoder Speed: Shows the actual real-time speed of the film being
measured by the encoder
- Encoder Scaling: A parameter set to run the printing ribbon at a
slightly lower speed to the packaging film. This can improve
printing quality at very high packaging film speeds.
• External Inputs 1, 2, 3: Shows the real-time status
of each of the two
inputs and
the unused spare input.
• Printhead Position: Indicates whether the
printhead home sensor is
detecting
the head as parked or not
• Cassette Open: Indicates whether the cassette home
sensor is
recognising the cassette
as being open or closed
• Motor Volts: Shows the voltage supply to the stepper motors
(must be
36V)
•
Printhead Volts: Shows the drive voltage to the printhea
d. This varies,
dep
ending on the printhead resistance but should be in the range
of
22V-27V depending
on printhead resistance.
• 24 Volt Supply: Shows the voltage supply for the printers I/O (m
ust
be 24V)
•
Printhead Temperature: Shows the real-time reading of the
thermistor
on the thermal printhead
•
Printer Ambient Temperature: Shows the real-time temperature
of the
hottest component inside the printer unit.
