Genicom 3600 manual Appendix a, Image Band Example

Appendix A

The ideal setting keeps imaging just ahead of printing. This ideal setting can be found by the proper selection of image bands and print speed for the label format being printed.

Image Band Example

The following example shows a format print using image bands. The label is 5 inches long and is divided into five image bands. The printer is configured for three image bands, which means that three bands will be imaged before printing begins.

The dashed lines represent the divisions between the five image bands and the arrow (−) represents the portion of the image band that is being printed at that time.

The first diagram shows the first 1 inch of the label imaged into the first image band. The other two image bands are still empty. Printing has not begun.

The second 1 inch of label is imaged into the second image band. Printing has still not begun.
