to No and set Clearing Mark Interval to Never. This is WinMark Pro’s default setting.
4 If your application requires a clearing mark, there are two choices: (1) perform the instructions
described in Step 4A to initiate the clearing mark at the start of each mark session OR (2) follow
Step 4B to insert a clearing mark after a specic number of marks has occurred in one or more mark
sessions.
A Initiate a clearing mark at the beginning of each mark session.
Set Clearing Mark On Begin Mark Session to Yes. This enables a clearing mark
sequence at the beginning of each mark session—every time a mark session opens in
WinMark Pro or WinMark Launcher.
OR
B Initiate a clearing mark after a specic number of marks have occurred.
Set Clearing Mark On Begin Mark Session to No, and then select a Clearing Mark
Interval other than Never. This initiates a clearing mark sequence after the specied
number of marks has occurred, even across multiple mark sessions. Choose a Clearing
Mark Interval based on your needs. SYNRAD recommends an interval of once every
10,000 marks. See Figure 6-19.

Clearing Mark Interval
Note: To perform clearing marks in a Tracking application, set Clearing Mark On Begin Mark Session
to Yes so that a clearing mark sequence occurs at the beginning of each mark session. The Clear-
ing Mark Interval is disabled in Tracking mode.
Over-temperature warning
In addition to monitoring FH Flyer head temperature visually using WinMark Pro, FH Flyer marking heads
have the ability to generate an output signal when the marking head reaches a preset temperature limit.
You can monitor Flyer marking head temperature in real-time using our WinMark Pro laser marking
software. To do this in WinMark Pro, click the Help menu and then click About Synrad WinMark… .
The About Synrad WinMark… dialog box displays internal air temperature near power amplier and CPU
components along with a color-coded Status indicator. If the Status indicator, normally green, turns yellow
(indicating power amp air temperatures at or above 65 °C), then you should consider cooling the environ-
ment in which the Flyer head is operating. FH Flyer will stop marking if the CPU’s ambient air tempera-
ture reaches 65 °C (when the Status indicator turns red). If this happens, marking will halt and you must
cool the Flyer head. Marking is not enabled again until ambient CPU air temperature drops below 60 °C.
Note:
Real-time air temperature measurements at power amplier and CPU locations inside Flyer have
been correlated with optical scanner air temperatures after extensive testing. A measured air
temperature of 65 °C at the CPU indicates that air temperatures surrounding the optical scanners
are approaching their maximum temperature limit of 50 °C.
When enabled, FH Flyer’s over-temperature warning function provides a signal on OUT7_A of the DB-25
User Interface connector. This output signal serves to alert an automation controller or maintenance per-
