6-2 Group Control Rev AA
Videojet DataFlex 6420 Operator Manual
• The Printhead page (navigate to Tools > Setup > Printhead) enables you
to exclude one or more slaves from the group. This is useful if a slave
develops a fault and you want the other printers to continue to print
the job. When the fault has been cleared, you can assign the printer to
the group again.
Group Control
This level of operation (level 2) allows you to control the slave printers
from the master. As with Group Job Select, you can select jobs only on the
master printer. The master printer tells the slaves which job to print. The
slaves can be assigned and excluded from the group, as described in
“Group Job Select” on page 6-1.
You can use the master printer to change setup parameters for any printer
in the group.
The user interface on the master printer also displays the following
additional information:
• The Consumables information for each printer in the group.
• The Batch Count and Total Count values for the group as a whole.
Total Count values for each printer in the group are also available.
• The fault or warning messages for both the master and slave printers
(the slaves will show only their own faults or warnings).
• The diagnostics information about each printer in the group.
