● Setting Repeat Printing 3-38
3.5 Setting Repeat Printing
(1) Overview
● This is set to print the same print description continuously.
● Set the "Repeat intervals" and "Repeat count" for repeat printing.
Repeat intervals
● The print target size can be specified.
● This setup is to be performed when the print target is transported while it is in
close contact.
● Perform the following calculations for repeat intervals setup purposes.
(i) On an individual scan basis
(1-digit character width×number of digits - trailing character correction value)
× (print target size/all-digit print width)
(ii) On an individual character basis
Number of digits × (print target size/all-digit print width)
(Example) Print target size: 64 mm; all-digit print width: 25 mm;
number of digits: 6; character size: 5 × 7 dots; inter-character
space: 2 dots
On an individual scan basis
((5+2)×1×6?(2×1+1))×(64/25)=99.84→100
On an individual character basis
6×(64/25)=15.36→15
● Round off the calculation results to the nearest whole number.
