11 How Do I Select The Correct Printing Mode?
(Fixed Speed or Encoder mode)
‘Fixed Speed’ mode should only used when the speed of the conveyor is constant and critical
information, such as, barcodes are not being printed.
PLEASE NOTE: If Fixed Speed mode is selected and the linear speed of the conveyor
should change, the length of the image printed will either increase or reduce accordingly.
‘Encoder’ mode is an accurate way of measuring conveyor speed. The encoder monitors
speed changes in the conveyor and compensates for these changes during the printing cycle.
Therefore, if barcodes are to be printed, encoder mode is essential to ensure the dimensions
of the barcode are correct.
The required printing mode can only be selected via CLARiTY™ Configuration Manager, as
shown below in Figure 11.1-1.
Figure 11.1-1 shows encoder mode selected, with a quadrature encoder.
