Make Your Own Manual This manual evolved from the observation that users often make their own manuals: they find and reproduce the instructions that are essential for their jobs and file away the rest. With this in mind, the writers at Diagraph created this manual so that every easily altered feature occupies only one page such as Printing a Message (one page); Setting the Date (one page) and Changing the Font (one page).

Press FONT. The LCD will prompt for a font selection.
USER'S MANUAL 5750210 C7 Changing the Default Font CHANGING THE MESSAGE FONT The font set in this routine will be the default font for all messages created in the future. To change the font in an existing message, follow the directions on Instruction C6, “Changing the Font in a Single Message”. The I.V./700 has three fonts: 7B:Double line characters 7 dots tall (“B” for bold). 7S: Single line characters 7 dots tall 1 2 5S: Single line characters 5 dots tall.
USER'S MANUAL 5750210 C8 Rotating the Message This function will rotate the printed message 180 degrees, which enables you to print a readable message that is upside down. Rotated messages allow you to print very close to the bottom of a box if the box is moving upside down on the conveyor. Setting the controller for rotated printing requires accessing a menu that is available only after a special initialization. Start by unplugging the barrel connector from the I.V./700.
USER'S MANUAL 5750210 C9 Adjusting a Single Dot Diameter This function allows you to change the dot diameter of individual dots from top to bottom by altering the stroke, in microseconds, of a piston in an ink channel. When the dots in a row are too small, they require a dot-size increase. If they are too large, they require a dot-size decrease. Changing individual dot diameters requires a menu that is available only after a special initialization. Start by unplugging the I.V./700.
USER'S MANUAL 5750210 C10 First Dot Adjustment When the I.V./700 has not printed for several minutes, the first dots printed in a message can be too small. You can prevent these initial small dots with First Dot Adjustment, which increases the dot sizes only on the first print. Dots in the second and all subsequent messages return to their defined dot-size settings, depending on the dot-size you choose. First dot adjustments are made at the factory but may require fine-tuning.
USER'S MANUAL 5750210 C11 Sizing Dots in Columns When the I.V./700 prints a single dot, the printing channel has individual access to ink pressure. When all seven channels print simultaneously, they share the ink pressure. This sharing can produce printed dots in columns that are slightly smaller in diameter than single printed dots. The column dot adjustment enables you to eliminate slight size variances between dots printed in rows and dots printed in columns.

USER'S MANUAL 5750210 D6 Setting the Item Count Item count enables you to print increasing or decreasing numbers on each item. If the starting number is smaller than the ending number, the item count will increase with each printed message. If the starting number is larger than the ending number, the item count will decrease with each printed message. When the item count reaches the ending number, it will start again with the starting number. You can define starting and ending values from 0 to 9999999.
USER'S MANUAL 5750210 D7 Setting the Pallet Count Pallet Count enables you to print the same number on several products that all belong on the same pallet. For example, defining the pallet quantity as 20, causes the I.V./700 to print "1" on the first 20 items for the first pallet, "2" on the second 20 items and so on. The I.V./700 remembers the pallet count progression whenever printing stops so that the next print run will start and continue with the previous count.
