It represents a multiplicative factor indicated It represents the down time of the piston
in tenth of a second.
12.7 - APPLICATOR CONFIGURATION
The applicator configuration is fundamental for a correct use of the system, par-
ticularly a correct up-down lead time allows to optimize the working cycle, adapting
it to the different needs required by the transport line. Short time for particularly fast
line or longer time for slower lines and/or objects of large dimensionsto be labelled,
where is possible to apply more labels on the same object if this one should remain
under the photocell for a period of time much longer than a working cycle.
The command to be sent to the printer through the serial line is the following:
/Nssssoooo where:
The first four figures of command “ssss” allow to set the parameters of the applicator
following the here below instructions:
ssss
The settable time has a range of "-164" that is 0.6 seconds as down time of the
piston and 0.4 seconds as up time to a maximum of "-999" that is 8.1 seconds for
both the courses of the piston.
12.8 - LABEL OFFSET
The label OFFSET allows to program the stopping point of the label at the end of
the printout, that means that working with the applicator the command is used to
detect the value to take the label off the siliconed support paper.
This operation, normally impeaches the first millimeters of the labels, that are not
usable for the printout, so it is advisable to use punched labels with 8 - 10 mm
distance instead of the usual 2 mm distance.
The command to be sent to the printer by serial line is the following:
/Hxxxx where:
It has to be substituted by sign "-" It represents the up time of the piston
