Setting the drop stage value<br />
Drop stage defined<br />
The drop stage value determines whether the plate stage is in the top or<br />
bottom of its two positions at the time the plate is labelled.<br />
About plate stage<br />
height<br />
The height of the plate stage as a label is applied to a plate is determined<br />
by both the mechanical height adjustment of the plate stage and the<br />
drop stage value in the schema.<br />
Procedure<br />
If you label plates that have skirts of different heights, you may need to<br />
create drop stage values for both the top and bottom positions of the<br />
plate stage. Otherwise, you only need to create one of the values.<br />
To set the top and bottom drop stage values:<br />
1. Create two constants for the drop stage value: one for the top<br />
position and one for the bottom position.<br />
Use the following table and screenshot as a guide when setting the<br />
values:<br />
Drop Stage Position<br />
Value<br />
Top position 0<br />
Bottom position 1<br />
2. Select the constant for the Drop stage field:<br />
a. In the Drop stage field select the data type of Constants.<br />
b. Select the Variable name that you chose when creating the<br />
constant.
