How To Install and Set Up the 5900 &
7900 Printer
Linx 5900 & 7900
The following table shows the maximum encoder speeds for standard Linx encoders and
wheels.
Figure 12. Maximum encoder speeds for standard Linx encoders and wheels
In this example, the actual raster pitch is 0.36 mm (step 2) and the number of rasters is 132
(step 1).
This result shows that the message fits into the target area of 50 mm.
For a 16 Linear Quality message type and an Ultima 62 µm printhead, the raster rate is
1.74 kHz (see the table on page 20).
The encoder/gearing that was selected has an encoder pitch of 0.040 mm (step 2), and a
maximum encoder frequency of 80 kHz.
This calculation shows that in this example the maximum print speed is not decreased by
the maximum encoder frequency.
Printed Message Length (mm) = 132 x 0.36 (mm)
= 47.52 (mm)
Maximum Print Speed (m/s) = 0.36 x 1.74 (kHz)
= 0.626 m/s
Maximum Line Speed (m/s) = 0.040 (mm) x 80 (kHz)
= 3.2 m/s
