Emboss Groups Tab (Maxsys Only)
This tab allows you to define emboss module groups. Emboss grouping allows
you to have more control over emboss (and indent) module ganging decisions on
Maxsys machines. With emboss groups, you can indicate more precisely where
the work is performed. This is controlled via the Production Options Setup and
Card Setup.
The Production Options setting is to allow d
efining relative module groups to a
unique, sequential group number. Groups can consist of one or two modules. A
group of one means that work that is targeted to this group number, will be done
on this module only. Work that is assigned to a group consisting of two modules,
will be ganged (pseudo parallel processed) in these two modules provided the
following are true:
• Both modules are adjacent
• B
oth modules are enabled
• Both modules are able to print the specified data
• B
oth modules are capable of ganging the specified font (the font to be printed
on these modules share the same characters)
• B
oth modules have the same defined print area
• O
ne (or both) of the modules is not required to print another operation
Below is a screen shot of the Emboss Groups tab in Production Options.
The
number of groups is specified first, then the number of modules per group is
indicated. This setup alone has no effect on module assignments. It is this setup
