CxLetterScan printer settings (print module)

Here you will find all available settings for the print module of the CxLetterScan (#CxLetterScanPrint)

Basic settings

A list with all available attributes for editing is displayed. The first column contains the name of the attribute, the second column contains the value of the attribute which can be edited. To edit a value, click with the mouse on the corresponding column and change the value.

General settings

Designation	Default value	Description
100: Timeout Print: Maximum permissible processing time for the preparation of the print image in ms	100	Maximum time in milliseconds that may be used to print a transmission. If the time exceeds this, an error is triggered and the machine is stopped.
200: Basic print offset in mm	95	Defines the default print offset that is applied to the printer module. This is the distance between the sensor on the print module and the 1st printhead. Nothing should be printed in this area until the letter has effectively reached the printhead (#CxLetterScanPrintOffset).
201: Automatic print offset in X-direction (longitudinal/running direction)	No	Defines whether the selected print layout is shifted in X-direction (longitudinal/running direction) to the best free area (white spot) (#CxLetterScanPrintVerzatz). See Automatic Print Offset.
202: Automatic print offset in Y-direction (cross)	No	Defines whether the selected print layout is shifted in Y-direction (landscape) into the best free area (white spot) (#CxLetterScanPrintVerzatz). See Automatic Print Offset.
210: Distance between printhead and guide bar [mm]	10.0	Defines the mechanical distance from the paper guide rail to the printhead.
220: Deviation factor of letter length in percent	20	This factor defines the number of percent of the measured letter length that the letter on the printer is allowed to deviate from. If the length is exceeded or fallen short of, the machine is stopped with the corresponding error. Example with a factor of 10: The measured letter on the camara module is 228 mm long, that means it must not be smaller than 205 mm and not longer than 250 mm on the printer module. The length changes if the letter is either placed at an angle after the print module or if 2 letters are pushed on top of each other.
400: Cartridge level: Warning limit in percent, default value is 10%.	10	This parameter can be used to set when a warning is displayed in the display of the CxLetterscan dialog in the print module under Printer status if the fill quantity defined here is not reached.

Automatic print offset

The automatic print offset (#CxLetterScanPrintVerzatz) offsets the print image so that it is printed in the best possible free area.
For this the image of the letter is analyzed and all free areas (white spots) are searched.
The position and size of the canvas defined in the print layoutis used to select the best free area.
The print image is shifted in X- and Y-direction according to the free area.

Standard error layouts for use cases

This grid shows all use cases that have the print function. For each use case, select a layout that will be printed on the letter in case of an error.

Printer layouts

This list shows all available printer layouts. These are managed here (edit, add, delete).

Faulty printer layouts (syntax errors, missing/empty elements/attributes, etc) are displayed with a red background.

A printer layout defines which data is printed in which format on an item. Various elements such as static text, variables, barcodes and images are supported. In order to position these elements, to define their font, etc., settings are required. This definition of the print layout is done in XML files (seePrintLayout Syntax).
