Retract Speed

This is the speed of the Dispensing Head while moving the Retract Distance. The units are in

inches/second. Typically, 2 in/sec is sufficient.

Retract Acceleration

This is the parameter that controls how fast the Dispensing Head comes up to the Retract Speed. You

may need to set this high for small dispensing moves. The units are inches/second

. Typically, 300

in/sec

is sufficient.

Jetted Line Parameters

Jetted lines are those dispensed with a DispenseJet valve. Each line is made up of a series of dots. “Jet

on the Fly” is a process of dispensing a line of dots without stopping at each dot position. This feature

can be activated by adding standard line commands to the program. The settings for the specific lines can

then be modified or adjusted by editing the line parameters. For more information, see “Jet on the Fly” in

the Advanced Programming section.
