5.2 Print setting
5.2.1Style

1. Print Mode(Trig mode)：

①External sensor: connect external eye through interface to start printing.
②Automatic: no need any trigger condition, it will print automatically.
2. Speed: when use online printing, adjust speed to fit conveyor speed. (if connect encoder, then
don’t need adjust this value). ‘0’ means fastest. When machine speed is too fast, character will be
too narrow. Then need to make speed value bigger. When machine speed is too low, character will
be too wide. Then need to make speed value smaller.
3. Interval(Delay): means the time from system receive print signal to start print. ‘0’ is the
minimum
4. Direction: direction of printing. Normal, X Reverse, Y Reverse and XY Reverse.
5. Nozzle Line (Spray Mode): Left nozzle or right nozzle means two lines of pinhole on the
cartridge nozzle. Left line is left nozzle, right line is right nozzle. When one of them gets wrong, can
choose the other nozzle

6. Print Width (Sync Freq): when connecting an encoder, Sync Freq means width of character.
When number gets larger, character will be wider.
7. Gray: when number gets larger, character color will be darker.
8. Sync Encoder (Use sync wheel): if machine connects a external encoder, need tick this.

5.2.2 DPI

X：different dpi could set on X direction. Default value is 600.

DPI: X direction could up to 600 maximum.
Advanced: could set repeated printing as need.

6.Operating Procedures
① Install all parts on conveyor, connect power cable and connect cable between controller and
nozzle, insert ink cartridge, and turn on machine at last.
② Edit message and save it
③ Choose file need to print ( Message), message need print will show on main menu.
④ Click Print (Print will be red Printing) means to start printing
⑤ Test speed and sensor position first. Should fix two factors, conveyor speed and sensor position.
If printing is too narrow, please add machine speed value. If printing words is too wide, please
reduce machine speed value. (If connect external encoder, then no need to adjust speed.)
⑥ Click Print again in the menu (it becomes white again), printing work is complete.
⑦ Turn off: Power - Shut down - OK - Press right side button.
⑧ Take out ink cartridge and cap it well
