Terms and definitions
A
■<Abort> key
This key is used to abort the ongoing process
execution.
■<Apply> key
This is used to give an instruction to reflect it in
printing.
■Auto-phase
This function is used to form, with the timing
varied, a small amount of electric charge on ink
particles that are not targeted for printing, and
detect the timing of ink particle generation by
sensing the voltage at the time of gutter recovery.
It is instrumental in searching for the charge
timing appropriate for printing. If the charge
timing is improperly adjusted, proper prints will
not be obtained.
■Auxiliary functions
User-created data management and maintenance
functions. Manage message, create user pattern,
copy data, calibrate touch screen coordinates,
select language, and edit standard pattern func-
tions are available.
■Auxiliary function menu
The auxiliary function menu screen allows you to
initiate manage message, create user pattern,
copy data, calibrate touch screen coordinates,
select language, or edit standard pattern
execution.
B
■<Back> key
This key is pressed to return to the previous
screen.
■<Backspace> key
In a character or numerical value input sequence,
this key is pressed to erase the character or
numerical value to the left of the current cursor
position.
→ (cf.) <Delete> key
■Blank (character)
This is a character that means that "no character"
exists as the print content. Characters positioned
subsequently to this "no character" will not be
printed.
When the print contents are displayed by the print
content creation screen, this "no character"
character is represented by the " " mark.
.
C
■Calendar characters
Characters for defining the "year," "month,"
"day," "hour," "minute" and "second"of date/time
values.
They are shaded when they are displayed as the
printings within the print content creation screen.
■Calendar conditions
This is a feature that is used to define the offset,
use of substitutions, zero suppression, and other
calendar character attributes. It is called up from
the edit message screen.
■Calendar offset
This is a feature that is used to add the calendar
values to the offset values and use the results of
addition as the printings. When determining the
calendar year/month offset, you can choose
between "offset from yesterday" and "from
today."
■Calendar time
Time on which calendar value calculations are
based. While the date/time setup screen is
displayed as a maintenance menu option, you can
effectcalendar time changeover between "same as
current time" and "clock stop."
■Calendar values
Date and time values that correspond to calendar
characters.
■Calibrate touch screen coordinates
This function is exercised so that the position of
touch panel depression coincides with the display
position.
It is called up from the auxiliary function menu.
■Change message name
This function is used to change the message
names of saved print data.
■Change message number
This function effects message number changes by
interchanging two print data.
■Charge voltage
Voltage to be applied to the charge electrode for
the purpose of charging ink particles.
