CAUTIONWhen using the manual mode, make sure that everything and everyone is clear of moving parts to prevent damage or injuries.

  1. Inspect the printer encoder for any signs of damage.
  2. Open the plate marking control panel.
  3. Check Log Enc Pos on the right of the panel then click  for both print modules. The encoder positions will now start scrolling down the log panes.
  4. In the Manual Mode window, use the appropriate Left & Right drive button to operate the drive rollers in the direction from infeed to outfeed.

  5. Make sure the drive encoder value (Drive Enc) is increasing in a positive direction and similarly in both log panes.

    Note: Pay close attention for a minus sign in front of the numbers. Negative values should increase towards 0.

  6. Spin the printer encoder wheel by hand in the same direction as it would be with the timber leaving the outfeed.

  7. Make sure the printer encoder value (Free Enc) is increasing in a positive direction and similarly in both log panes.

    Note: Pay close attention for a minus sign in front of the numbers. Negative values should increase towards 0.

  8. Uncheck Log Enc Pos on the right of the plate marking control panel then click  for both print modules.
