NVS Parameter: media escan


Long Name:

extra_scanlines

Applies to:

  • Thermal

  • Description:

    For some thermal medias, the edge pixels of the stroke are written will less power as there is no 'neighbour' to help it on one side. The DPE compenstates for this by writing the same pixel on the next swath effectively overwriting the last pixel off the previous swath. And the carriage slows down just enough to overlap the first pixel of the next swath with the first pixel of the previous swath.

    Note that the carriage speed is calculated based on stroke width - 1 when escan is enabled. This will reduce the throughput, but this is quite negligible.

    For most thermal plates, this parameter should be enabled, while for film medias, this parameters should be disabled.

    If the NVS media "overwriting" parameter (a.k.a "interleaving" or "special_plot_mode" on older firmware versions) is used, this parameter may be ignored, depending on the machine and plot mode. See the documentation on the NVS parameter "media ow" for more information.
