s
3
= time interval between the end of printing and the moment at which the sensors start to
be tested to detect any errors during the run of the piston plate. This time interval should
be regulated to make sure that in the first part of its run, the plate does not signal an error
when it passes close to the support frame of the applicator.
s
4
= time interval between the complete re-entry of the plate (signalled by a sensor) and the
printing of the next label.
The factor s
2
must be multiplied by s
3
and by s
4
to obtain the time expressed in tenths of
a second.
Values distinct from zero for
oooo
in the serious ST5xx represent the footstep number
of the BackFeed ( you shouldn't waste bread and the tape returns in after before the print ).
If the autocalibration is abilited and in
oooo
there is 0000, the BackFeed enables auto-
matically when there is the applicator or the dispenser options.
With the BackFeed all label area is printable also the first millimeters. An other function
of the backfeed is debit more power to the peeloff. In the case of great labels it is not nec-
essary to write also in the first millimeters, but council however to use the BackFeed for
giving more power to the PeelOff. In such case I suggest to use
/N-…0010/H0273/$&%0000100000000000
17.33 /Psss
The
/P
command has the same function as the command /$>P except that it is easier to
use in this case.
The /$>P command is used to modify the values for the limits of the sensors giving the
values for the new limits to the corresponding sensors. To do this it is necessary to know
which sensor has been selected. With the /P parameter a new value is given for the limits
of the selected sensor.
It must be followed by 3 numbers which represent the limit within which the firmware
will consider the variation for detection (values: from 000 to 255).
This command has the same effect as
/$>P
, but only influences the currently selected sen-
sor, set by the first parameter of the last edited command
/K.
If the auto calibration has not been deactivate in version 2.0 onwards, changing the value
for P will not have any effect because the value for the limit is calculated by the printer.
The transparency photo sensors detect the quantity of infra red light which passes across
the materials whereas the reflective sensors measure the quantity of light reflected by the
materials. High values correspond to a large amount of light in transparency or reflection
of the materials and vice versa.
A reliable detection of the gap means that the difference in signal (the contrast) generated
by the detection of the discontinuity (holes, serrated edges, marks etc.) are significantly
