How To Use the Communications
Options
Linx 5900 & 7900
Mode
Select either ‘Single’ or ‘Continuous’:
• Continuous—printing occurs if any remote data is received or if no remote
data is received. If a set of remote data is received, this data is printed until
another set of remote data is received.
• Single—printing occurs one time for each set of remote data that is received. If
there is no more data received, any print triggers that occur are controlled
according to the configuration of the On Failure option (see below).
If there is no remote data used, set the Mode option to Continuous. Use the Single
print mode only with messages that use remote data.
Number of Buffers
This parameter sets the number of buffers that are assigned to each remote field in
the message (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32).
Clear Buffers
Select ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If set to ‘Yes’ when printing stops, the printer clears all remote
field buffers in the current message. This option makes sure that the
synchronisation of remote fields is maintained.
NOTE: If remote messages are downloaded, configure the number of buffers
before the RCI protocol is used. When the number of buffers is changed,
you must open and save each message that contains buffered remote fields
in the Message Editor. The buffered remote field value is updated to the
value that was set at the Print Mode page. If all fields in a message are not
the same buffer length, a loss of synchronisation between fields can occur
when the smallest buffer fills.
A confirmation message is displayed to tell you that the changes do not become
active unless the messages are edited and saved in the Message Editor.
On Failure
For Single print mode this parameter sets the correct failure condition if no remote
data is received ready for the next print. Select either ‘Warn and Ignore’ or ‘Warn
and Pause Print’:
• If ‘Warn and Ignore’ is selected, the error “3.29 Overspeed (No remote data)” is
displayed, and the Print Go command (see below) is ignored. No print occurs.
• If ‘Warn and Pause Print’ is selected, the error “3.29 Overspeed (No remote
data)” is displayed. The printer status is set to Jet Running.
