Release 11/05 Page 49 Configuration
Number of data bits _______________________________________________ DBIT
The function is only visible if a baudrate is selected. With this function you can select between 7
or 8 data bit protocols.
Factory adjustment: 8BIT
Recycle (simulates max labels/min) ________________________________ RECY
The Auto-recycle function, is used to determine the maximum possible cycle rate with the
current parameter settings.
It will cycle through applicator cycles automatically by internally generating a product-start the
instant a cycle has been completed and displays the average cycle rate per minute in the
display. It also operates with no applicator selected by dispensing labels at the maximum
possible rate. The maximum labelling rate for different values of PDT can be determined using
the RECY function without having to physically connect the printer.
Distance sensor to dispensing edge _________________________________ DIST
This function defines the distance between the material label sensor and the dispensing edge.
This value is shown in steps of 0.1 mm (e.g. 0456 means 45.6 mm). The measured value can
be adjusted by pressing the key FUNCTION.
If the DIST value has been adjusted correctly the first leading label edge detected at
initialisation will be moved exactly to the dispensing edge, as long as STOD is set to 0.0 (mm).
This parameter is important for the missing label compensation. If it is not correctly adjusted a
missing label on the material roll, will not be compensated correctly and the product will not be
labelled.
Value range: 10.0 .... 999.9 mm
Label counter ___________________________________________________ LABC
Each dispensed label increases the counter by 1. The capacity of the counter is for
999 999 999. The total number can be seen in 3 sections, press the keys FUNCTION as
described down below:
Mnnn Knnn .nnn
y
where M represents millions
y
K represents thousands
y
.represents units
On entering the "LABC" parameter the units are displayed. By using the arrow keys can then
be used to change between the millions, thousands and units displays.
By pressing NEXT and PRIOR at the same time the counter is set to 0. By pressing the key
ENTER the function will be left.
