AMS 500
ABSOLUTE MARKING SYSTEM
On the right-hand side the various tip widths of the plotter pens being used are highlighted in
green.
In the left hand side of the window you have the possibility of selecting various printing
options:
Only one tip width to be used
If only one tip width is to be used for all printing, select this option and choose the specific
pen. If you have tags with many characters on them, you can choose to plot with a smaller
pen tip while others with less character could be plotted with a larger pen tip.
Only one plotting speed to be used
You can select various speeds for individual printing sequences. If only one speed is to be
used, select this option and choose the speed required. Note that the maximum speed is
attained only on straight lines that are much longer than the one permissible on such a
smaller surface. In other words the plotter speed has basically no effect; 20mm per
second is recommended.
Only Selected Tags will be printed
If you select this option, only those tags previously selected will be printed.
Only selected segment to be printed
This option allows you to print only the previously selected segment; clicking on the segment
you want to print makes the selection. All markers in that segment will be printed even if not
selected.
Selecting a marking sequence
Select the sequence you wish to print by clicking on it with the mouse.
Selecting several marking sequences
To select more than one sequence, hold down the "Shift" key and select the marking
sequences you wish to print by clicking them with the mouse.
