Emboss Element Properties
Use the following information to define the properties of an Emboss Element.
Emboss throughput is dependent upon module assignment per emboss
element. Emboss module throughput is dependant on the number, location,
font, and make-up of characters to be embossed. Multiple modules may be
used in a system to increase system throughput by dividing lines up among
modules. The slowest module will determine system throughput.
Advanced Tab Properties
Perform Operation
String
These three fields are related inasmuch as the program
performs the defined operation string using the selected Data
Field on the selected module.
For example: If there are four modules and each module has
a different foil type, and the operation string calls for the use
of foil type A (which is loaded on module 3), you should
select the options accordingly. Operation parameters are
defined in the Data Setup.
