07 - MFD Thermal Printer

The printer contains an integral re-chargeable battery pack. Connect the printer to the serial port of the MFD and ensure that the battery pack is fully charged. Although the battery pack in the printer is trickle-charged while connected to the MFD it is recommended that the battery is fully charged before use using the mains charger supplied. When the MFD is powered up the printer should also automatically power up.

If the printer does not power up press the green button above the LED. The printer will print acceleration time results, deceleration time results, time to set distance from stand still, velocity at set distance from stand still, brake test results, time at split/start/finish line, velocity at split/start/finish line and old lap times.
 

To print old lap times (laps 1 – 20) go into the lap timing menu and find the option ‘PRINT LAP TIMES’ press OK to print.
On completion of an acceleration / deceleration test the time taken and start/end speeds will be printed automatically.
After travelling the set distance (as set in the ACCEL TEST SETUP option of the CONFIG DISPLAY menu the time taken to travel this distance and the velocity at this point will automatically be printed.
 

On completion of a brake test using a trigger the following results will be printed

Every time you pass over a set point (start/finish/split line) the time and velocity will be printed automatically.
 

Note: When doing lap timing, set the end speed for the acceleration test and start speed of deceleration test to a value you will not attain (i.e. 900) otherwise every time you have a valid test, the results will be printed out along with the lap timing results which can be confusing.
