5C Advanced Eddie Settings

Advanced settings are split into two sections.

Advanced Eddie Settings

• Cookie Centering Scan. Check to scan the front and back edge of the print item to adjust the print start position. This is recommended for items that have size variability. It will cause slightly longer delays between printing. Uncheck this box to enable manual centering of a print object. This could be useful if your cookies are occasionally not printing centered or you have inconsistent print start positions. The Printer will no longer perform the scan. Instead, it will start in a fixed position. To adjust centering, you will need to manually adjust the Horizontal Offset and Top of Cookie Offset on the settings tab. See section 5B
• Scan large print area for multiple objects. Enable this setting if you have DTM templates, Milton Tray or Sassy Tray. Normally the initial scan for cookie height and size scans one section in the middle of the cookie platform for height. With this setting enabled, it will scan the entire print surface for height. This will take longer but it will ensure taller cookies are not knocked off the tray when printing. Its also useful if the top of your cookies has an uneven surface. The topmost height of the cookie will be used to set the height of the platform and how close the cookie comes to the print head. Note: Lower sections may not print as sharp since the print head is further away.
• Initialize Carousel on Power Reset. When powering on, the Carousel will move one-quarter turn to ensure proper calibration of the carousel platter.
• Enable Half-Speed Printing. Enable this setting to increase print quality. This is especially useful if your cookie is rocking during the printing process. This reduces the chance of cookie movement during printing.
• Feed Speed. This controls the speed of the initial height and size scan of each cookie before it is printed. If you have smaller or lighter cookies, lower this value to prevent the cookie from moving during the scan process, causing off-center prints. Set this the same as Reverse Speed.
• Reverse Speed. This controls the speed of the initial height and size scan of each cookie before it is printed. If you have smaller or lighter cookies, lower this value to prevent the cookie from moving during the scan process, causing off-center prints. Set this the same as Feed Speed.
• Top of Cookie Lift Offset. This controls the height of the print head. Increase the value to move the print head closer to the print item (It increases the height of the platform/tongue which brings the cooking closer to the print head. The print head does not actually move). Decrease the value to lower the cookie and move the printhead away from the object. As you move the printhead away from the print item, the sharpness of the print decreases. As you move the printhead closer to the object, the image will become sharper, but there will be a danger that the cookie out error will appear. Using this setting, the printer will not let the print head hit the object. However, If the sensor is dirty it is still possible for a collision to occur.
• Pause Printing After X Cookies. By default, the Printer will pause printing after 12 items or one complete revolution. This is meant to allow time to remove the printed items and replace them with blank items. This prevents already printed items from being printed on again. To continue printing, press the pause button to continue printing for another 12 items. Uncheck this setting to disable this feature. Increase or decrease the number to pause after that many items. We recommend that this feature is only disabled if an operator is watching the machine and reloading blank items while they are removing printed items.
