Print trigger: Internal or External Photocell
The printer can operate with an internal or external photocell:

Internal photocells in the chassis: FTC_INT1 and FTC_INT2
-

To select which photocell you want to work with for print triggering, see chapter

Controlling Printing Speed
There are three different ways to determine the speed at which the product is passing in front
of the printer:
-
Fixed speed.
-
Speed calculated using internal calculation between the two internal photocells.
-
Speed calculated using an external encoder.
To select which method is used for calculating the print speed, see chapter Settings > Level 2 >
