Main Parts

3.2.2 Encoder

For the continuous motion operation of the printer, an encoder is used to track the speed of the

packaging material. The encoder is wired into the printer's input/output connector.

The printer is configured to use a quadrature mode encoder by default, but is capable of using a

single-phase encoder. The use of a quadrature mode encoder enables the printer to react if the

packaging material is travelling backwards. This prevents the occurrence of breaks in the ribbon

and possible damage to the printer. The use of a quadrature mode encoder is strongly

recommended.

Note: These settings are known as configuration settings and cannot be set at the CLARiTY panel. For

further information, refer “Configuring the Printer” on page 4-6.
