Up to five of the items in the list under Print Data can be selected. Each time the white box next to each item clicked or touched, the Order number will cycle from 0 to 5. The number determines the order in which the items will print from left to right by the ink jet printer. On the screen above, four items will print in order from left to right, they are Truss Name, Piece Name, Overall Length and Quantity (of that piece for that truss). Repetitive, redundant or unnecessary information in these categories can be eliminated from the message that is printed. The columns labeled Start and Length control what part of the job, truss and piece names are printed. The information printed on the board will begin with the character number in the Start column and end with the character number in the Length column. In the example above, the printed Job Name will start with the first character and print up to the 255th character if the Job Name is that long. For example, if the full message for Job Name is "A123456" but the only information that is necessary for identification is A123, set the Start to 1 and Length to 4. 1. RESET – Will reset all print Order L-R numbers to 0, all Start numbers to 0 and all Length numbers to 255. 2. FLUSH – This button is used to purge ink from the print head. NOTE It is important that to print only as much information as is needed. Very long messages will often not be completely printed on short pieces as they come out of the machine. Experiment with all these settings when planning to print more than 15 characters (spaces count as characters). 3.6.7 Pick List Sort Options (7) Figure 33 3.6.8 Printer Setup (8) The inkjet or label printers can be setup by clicking or touching Printer Setup on the Options menu shown in Figure 28.
