Print Setup
(a) Initial screen of the Print setup wizard.
Follow the on screen instructions.
Check that, if used, the sensor and/or
shaft encoder are connected correctly.
(5) The printer will now set the printer in accordance with the elements set
in the wizards. Once complete the ink system will need preparing (see
next).

(5) If required, set the stroke multiply and/or divide ratio, this allows the
printer to match the output from the shaft encoder.
The Encoder Pulse Count verifies that the encoder signal is being received
by the printer.
(6) Use the increment buttons to select Internal or External (if a shaft
encoder is to be used).
Note: If the Stroke Source is Internal, the stroke rate is controlled by Change
Width in Print Setup (see below).
(7) If the Stroke Source is External, use the highlight bar to select External
Stroke Divider Ratio and type in the value required.
(8) Use the scroll buttons to search through the button options along the
bottom of the screen and select OK.
For further information on the shaft encoder option, refer to page 8-11.
Print Delay
Note: Each print format has a minimum print delay to which the printer is set
on delivery. This value should be recorded for future use. Entering any
value below this minimum will result in an error message when printing.
In the absence of a recorded minimum, increase the print delay until an
acceptable value is found. The product detector (sensor) or print head may
require re-positioning.
(1) Press the Machine Setup button.
(2) Select Configuration > Machine Print Settings > Print Delay
(3) Type in the number of strokes giving the change in position required to

(5) Select OK from the button options along the bottom of the screen.
Print Offsets
The print offset is used to adjust the position of the message on the product.
If using a traverser on the print head, the reverse offset can also be set.

Invert/Reverse Printing
The default settings for the printer can be either On or Off (Off as standard).
Further to this, it is possible to set each message to print in inverted and or
reverse form, or with change-overs between normal and inverted/reverse
orientation after specific numbers of products or prints.
Message settings are saved with the message. Set the printer defaults as
follows:
(1) Press the Machine Setup button.
(2) Select Machine Print Settings > Machine Orientation. Then select either
Set Reverse or Set Invert.

Installation Dimensions
PRINTER INSTALLATION
The following is general information for installing the printer in a wide range
of working areas.
Printer cabinet and print head installation dimensions are given in the diagrams
opposite and on the next page.
Cabinet Positioning
The cabinet should be in a position where there is access to the front and left
side with clearances to open the doors as given in the diagram. The cabinet
must be level and electrically isolated from other equipment, except for a
normal data interface.
For total stability, the printer should be mounted on a Cabinet Stand (see
PART 8 Options and Accessories).
The printer should be sited in an area where the temperatures will remain
within +5°C and +45°C and the relative humidity will remain within 10% to
90% (non-condensing). The printer draws in and expels cooling air through
the handling recesses. These areas must not be obstructed.
Conduit and Print Head Positioning
The conduit must be kept away from power supply cables and other wiring
capable of producing electrical noise. The print head must also be electrically
isolated. This is normally achieved by the insulation coating on the print head
and its mounting components. However, if there is any danger of this being
insufficient, use the glass-filled nylon mounting bracket supplied loose with
the printer. The print head and conduit must also be as free as possible from
vibration.

The print head must be mounted perpendicular to the printing surface. The
distance between print head and print surface is optimised to the values given
above. Print quality will be maintained if the distance is between the limits
given, but will reduce outside these limits.

Electrical Supply
WARNING: The cabinet must be properly earthed for the
safety of personnel working on the printer.
The printer should be connected using a suitable plug and socket outlet
which is accessible and close to the equipment, so that power can be quickly
disconnected. If a fused power connector is used, it should be fitted with a
5A fuse. If a fused power connector is not used, then the supply circuit
should have a circuit breaker or fuse rated at 5A.
The supply must be free from electrical noise. Domino can give advice on
suitable devices to ensure trouble-free operation.

The printer requires the following a.c. single phase, three wire supply:

200V - 240V, 200VA, 50-60Hz (nominal).
SENSOR INSTALLATION
Details are given in PART 8 Options and Accessories of the following types of
sensor:
• Sensor and Reflector Assembly
• Sensor Assembly Proximity
• Inductive Sensor
• Sensor Assembly Fibre Optic.
The printer provides a 12V 100mA d.c. output for use by the sensor and a
12V NPN open-collector input for product detection signals back from the
sensor. The sensors are attached to a connector on the side of the printer
cabinet.
Sometimes the mode of operation and position of the sensor may be unique
to a particular application. Domino would be pleased to assist with any
problems.
Sensor Positioning
The sensor should be fitted at a position where it can detect the product
before the product reaches the print head. Either the leading or the trailing
edge of the product detect signal can be used. Once the product has been
detected, the print delay (in strokes) will then determine the message is
printed (a print trigger signal is given). Note also that each message can be
positioned further using a message offset.
Positioning the printed message on the product is, therefore, controlled by
two adjustments:
(a) Position of the sensor. The sensor should be as close as possible to
the print head and such that it avoids the next product being
detected prior to the current product being completed. The closest
distances may also be affected by the minimum print delay available
with the print format in use (see page 9-14).
(b) Adjustment of the Print delay through the printer control panel.
The aim should be to position the sensor and select a pulse edge which will
result in the minimum Print delay. A highly unsatisfactory condition,
normally to be avoided, is where one product triggers printing on the next.
This becomes increasingly possible at high print repetition rates, such as with
small products passing at high speed.
