7. Select Backlash direction drop down setting, to select which direction the shaft encoder
will detect as forward:
Backlash Direction Explanation
A leads B Forward movement will be detected when the shaft encoder turns
clockwise.
B leads A Forward movement will be detected when the shaft encoder turns
anti‑clockwise.
End of procedure.
EXTERNAL SHAFT ENCODER SETUP/CALIBRATION
WARNING Hazardous Chemicals. Risk of eye and skin damage.
Wear protective equipment such as gloves and glasses when near the
printer.
Contact with chemicals can cause skin or eye damage.
Refer to Safety Data Sheet.
1.Notes
Set the encoder mode, before calibrating the other encoder settings. When
changing the encoder mode, the encoder calibration settings can be lost.
see External Shaft Encoder Mode Setup on page 71.
2. To use an external encoder, ensure the "Print speed mode" of labels that are
sent to the print group is set to "External". see Label Settings on page 134.
3. To ensure good print performance and encoder accuracy, it is
recommended to use a 2 channel quadrature encoder.
Required tools: metric ruler and calculator.
To setup an external shaft encoder to measure the production line movement:
1. If the print group is active, stop the print group. Select STOP, select the print group and
select Stop.
2.
Select Home > Setup > Production line setup > Line movement.
3.
Select a Print group tab, to choose which print group to setup.
4.
Select the Encoder input setting and select:
External 1 Use the encoder connected to ENC 1
External 2
Note Gx-IC10/Gx-OEM Only.
Use the encoder connected to ENC 2.
5.
Make a note of the Encoder scale (pulses/m) value.
6.
Select Home > Label manager > Open.
7.
Locate ruler.lbl and select the send to print icon:
8.
Select the print group and select Send.
