Brady WavePoint™ XE2000 User's Guide Appendix B – Delay for Encoding

Approximating the Delay for Encoding

Calculate the following to determine the encoding delay based on

the label and printer parameters. Examples are given below:

Setting Value Description

Backfeed Speed 2 in/sec Usually fixed

Backfeed Amount 0.5 in

Typically user-defined, but can be

fixed

Label Print Speed 4 in/sec

Typically user-defined, but can be

fixed

Label Length 2 in User-defined when formatting labels

Suggested Margin +150%

Equates to 50% more time than the

backfeed speed & amount, and the

label print speed and length. The

margin can be reduced as the user

becomes familiar with the system.

The following example demonstrates this calculation based on the

values in the preceding table:

* 150% = (250ms + 500ms) * 1.50 = 1125ms
