2.4.3 Output rate logging
The printer saves a log of output information in Comma Separated Variable (.csv) format,
which you can export to a USB memory device (see ‘Export Log’ on page 145). The log entry
contains the following information:
• Log type (see ‘Export Log’ on page 145 for more information about log types)
• Date and time
• Message name
• Print count
• Target rate
• Actual rate
The log entry is in the format ‘Log Type, Date-Time, Message Name, Print Count, Target
Rate, Actual Rate’.
For example:
‘PL, 12-07-2015T09:00:00, BEST BEFORE, 10, 30, 35’
That is, a periodic log entry, recorded at 9 a.m. on the 12th of July 2015 for the message “Best
Before”, where the print count is 10, and the target and actual print rates are 30 and 35,
respectively.
A new log entry is produced whenever the following conditions are met:
• Every 15 minutes (that is, at 00, 15, 30, and 45 minutes past the hour).
• When the current message is changed.
• When printing starts.
• When printing stops.
• When the target rate changes.
• When the printer date or time changes.
