Conguration
2 Power down Flyer and then remove the USB or Ethernet connection if desired.
Note: The Ethernet connection must be active if your mark les reside on a computer server instead of
in Flyer’s Filestore.
3 Restart the FH Flyer marking head and your automation control system.
4 FH Flyer begins marking immediately after boot-up as commanded by the User Interface digital
inputs driven by your automation controller.
If connected to the WinMark computer via USB or Ethernet during the time that FH Flyer is actively
marking in stand-alone Master Control File mode, you can click the Mark button, to open the Launcher
window and view piece count/cycle time information.
Important Note: The information in the Launcher window is only current from the time you open
the window to view mark activity. To view a complete mark history after the entire
mark session is nished, go to WinMark Pro’s Tools menu, click Get Flyer Head
Logs and then choose Mark Log. The Mark Log text le is uploaded to the com-
puter location you specify.
Note: When monitoring stand-alone MCF activity from WinMark Pro, the Launcher Preview window is
disabled because WinMark Pro is not controlling microvector generation during the mark.
Note: When the head is busy marking, it may not have sucient time to initialize the Filestore view, so
les stored in the Filestore may not appear in the Flyer Files window.

1 To end a stand-alone Master Control File mark session, rst connect FH Flyer to the WinMark Pro

Note: In certain situations when Mark On Startup is enabled, Flyer may not exit stand-alone marking,
depending on the conguration of mark le automation. If this occurs, power down Flyer, re-apply
DC power, then press and hold the Test Mark button until Flyer has nished booting up. Alter-
