Three different print jobs shall be printed. The print-out shall not be carried out in a
fixed order but on the basis of direct addressing each print job. The addresses of the
print jobs shall be 1, 5 and 7. The print order shall be 1-7-5-5-1.
Presets:
The described presets depend on the used hardware and may vary.
The digital I/O for the <External Joblist> on connector X4 are connected to a source
which can provide 10-bit binary address signals.
The print-out speed is measured with an external encoder with a resolution of 12.5
pulses/mm. The encoder shall only work clockwise and shall be locked against
backward movement detection. The speed dependent output shall not be used. The
<PrintGo> signal is a positive signal edge provided from an external sensor. The
<PrintGo Gate> function shall not be used and the print-out shall not be stopped
immediately when a <PrintStop> signal occurs but the current print job shall be
finished. The <Date Change Parameter> option shall not be used.
It is assumed that the three different print jobs are already created. For these print
jobs no <PrintGo Delay> no <PrintGo Distance> and no <PrintGo Repetitions>
were defined. For these topics there will be a separate example.
Approach:
The numbers in brackets refer to the numbers in Figure 40
1. Open the <Extern Jobselect> tab from the menu bar of the main window of
the printer: <Job>-<Create new Joblist>-<Extern Job select> (1).
2. Place the cursor in the first row of the job list display and push the <Job
Import> button (2).
3. Select the print job for address “1” (3). The address is shown in the first
column of the job list display: <Input No> (4).
4. Fill the following rows in the job list display with the two remaining print jobs
(4).
5. Enter the following settings in the <Joblist settings> (5-8):
