Print Menu Commands Function
Print Enable Opens the Print Control menu. The Print option can be
toggled between Enable and Disable.
Manual Print Printing is triggered by an external device in normal
conditions (for example, photocell or internal timer).
Use manual print to print one copy of the selected
message when the print command is given. You can
use this feature to check the printer operation while not
connected. You must remove the photocell cover to use
the manual print.
Continuous Print The message is printed again and again without an
external trigger.
Opens the Continuous print dialog box.
You can toggle the Continuous mode between Off,
Distance Mode, SE Mode and Time Mode. SE mode
delay and Time mode delay can be individually adjusted
between 1 and 10000 pulses.
Distance Mode uses a user defined distance interval to
set the gap between the start of each print.
SE mode uses external shaft encoder pulses to set the
gap between the start of each print.
The Time Mode uses internally generated pulses to set
the gap between the start of each print.
Line
Configuration
Line Configuration is a menu that holds all the shaft
encoder calibration setting. It also allows the user to set
up message units in inches, mm or strokes.
