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.
