4.1.3 Choosing the Message Type
The message type you choose determines the height of the message in
numbers of drops. This can be from five drops high up to 16 drops high. It
also dictates the maximum character size you can use. See ‘Selecting the
Size’ on page 51 for further information.
There are several message types to cater for different speeds of operation,
these are: Flexible, Quality, Speed, and Wide. When selecting message
types, refer to Appendix C to identify which message types meet the
maximum line speed of your operation; Quality message types are
generally used for low speeds, Flexible for low to medium speeds, Speed
for high speeds, and Wide for very high speed requirements. Note that
Flexible message types have a greater print height adjustment range.
The range of message types available varies according to the printer
configuration and printhead type in use.
You use the MESSAGE TYPE menu to specify the message type. The
example below shows a sample of message types available for the Ultima
printhead with a 2-line, Standard Speed (SS) configuration:
Figure 4-2 Example Message Types
You can view the range of message types available on your printer via the
Diagnostics > System Configuration > Message Type menu.
Full listings of message types for the Ultima and Ultima plus printheads
are provided in Appendix A, ‘Installation and Setup’.
