How To Change the System Setup
Linx 5900 & 7900
2.2.4 Encoder Speed
This option is not displayed unless you set the Speed Selection option to ‘Shaft Encoder’ as
shown below.
Figure 10. Speed page: Shaft Encoder
Set the Encoder Speed option to match the encoder that you use. The value required is the
number of pulses per millimetre of movement of the product.
To configure the printer correctly for a shaft encoder and an encoder wheel, refer to How to
Install and Set Up the 5900 & 7900 Printer.
2.2.5 Dual Trigger
Use this setting if the printer uses two trigger devices. The printer uses the information
from the two triggers to calculate the line speed.
Figure 11. Speed page: Dual Trigger
The Dual Trigger mode is like the Calculate Line Speed function and the trigger options on
this page are the same (see ‘Calculate Line Speed’ on page 8). The difference is as follows:
• The Calculate Line Speed option helps you measure the line speed value that you need
for the Fixed Speed mode.
• In the Dual Trigger mode, the printer does not tell you the line speed, but continuously
monitors the line speed to control the printing speed.
