Setting Repeat Print
3.4.1
Overview
This function is used to print the same print description continuously.
Configure the "Repeat intervals" and "Repeat count" settings for repeat print.
1
Repeat print intervals:
z
The size of the print target can be specified.
z
This setting is performed when print targets are transported in close contact to
each other (i.e. without gaps between them).
Single-character
width = (horizontal
character size + inter-
character space) x
character increased
width setting
Trailing character
correction value =
inter-character space
x character increased
width s 1
z
Perform the following calculations to obtain the printing intervals for repeat
print:
(i) On an individual scan basis:
(single-character width x number of characters – trailing character
correction value) x (print target size/print width of all characters)
(ii) On an individual character basis: Number of characters x (print target size/
print width of all characters)
(Example) Print target size: 64 mm; print width of all characters: 25 mm;
number of characters: 6; character size: 5 x 7 dots; inter-character
space: 2 dots
• On an individual scan basis:
((5 + 2) x 1 x 6 – (2 x 1 + 1)) x (64 / 25) = 99.84 100
• On an individual character basis:
6 x (64 / 25) = 15.36 15
z
Round the calculation result to the nearest integer number.

Repeat print count
z
You can preset the number of repeat print sequences to be performed while the
sensor light is blocked.
z
If repeat print is not needed, set the value to "0".
z
The repeat print mode will be "Fixed during Signal ON".
z
The relationship between repeat print mode and the count is as shown below.

Signal ON
period
Printing is repeated a
preselected number of times at
predefined intervals while the
print target detection signal is
ON.
Repeat print is performed while
the print target detection signal
is ON.
