148 Production Options Setup
Allow Double Topping - With this option selected, the card is topped twice (if
needed) by the same Topping Module. The card is moved into the first topping
position (60%) and the card is topped on the first 60% of the card. Then the card is
advanced to the second topping position (100%) and topped on the rest of the
card. Double topping is used when the length of the embossing is greater than the
ISO standard.
Use Upstream Artista MCB For Full Buffering - By default this option is checked
when creating a new production options setup.
Artista Downstream MCB Rele
ase Threshold - This sets the release threshold
for the downstream Multi-Card Buffer module so the adjustment can fit the
application. The default is 0, but this threshold can be set to between 0 and 20
cards. Controlling this setting allows cards to start flowing into the Artista VHD
before the MCB is ready to receive them.
• Too high a value will increase the number of times the Artista VHD
empties
• Too high a value could result in wasted ribbon and RTM.
Station Groups Tab
This tab allows you to define Input and Output Station groups to manage
multiple card stocks. Enter the parameters as needed.
Groups are
sets of trays to manage multiple Input and Output Stations. For
example, if the system has 4 input hoppers and the production requires two
different card types then inputs 1 and 2 can be ganged together for one card
type, and 3 and 4 ganged together for the other card type.
1. Select the number of Input/Output Station Groups from the lists. The
interface adjusts accordingly.
2. Se
lect the number of stations per group from the list.
