What Does L + Ratio Mean?

Understanding Datacard Operating Conditions & Calculating the ‘L + Ratio’
The ‘L + Ratio’ is a term used to define the various operating conditions that are necessary and necessary depending on the system’s configuration in Datacard® credit card embossers and printers. It is an important concept to understand when using or configuring an embossing system, as it defines the speed at which the printer can print and how it will be adapted depending on the specific setup.

The ‘L + Ratio’ concept was determined by Datacard® and developed as a way to define the operating conditions that are necessary and necessary to ensure a good embossing result for a specific system configuration. The term ‘L + Ratio’ simply refers to the ratio of the feed rate of the printer to the print speed of a card. This ratio is necessary to adjust the printer’s feed timing so that it is in sync with when the embosser wants to create a card. It’s important for the printer and embosser to stay in sync when operating at different speeds in order for the embossing process to be successful. The goal is to have the embosser and the printer remain in constant communication with one another so that the embossing process runs smoothly and without interruption or any errors.

Calculating the L + Ratio

The L + Ratio formula is determined by using two formulas with the following variables:

* F – the feed rate of the printer
* C – the card speed that the embosser is running

The first formula is:

L = F / C

The second formula is:

L + = L + (1 – L)

With these two formulas, you can calculate the L + Ratio, which defines the operating conditions that are necessary and necessary to ensure a good embossing result for a specific system configuration. This ratio must be adjusted according to the feed rate of the printer and the card speed of the embosser. By making sure that the L + Ratio is correct for a given setup, you can ensure that the printer and embosser remain in sync, thereby preventing any errors or interruptions during the embossing process.

Conclusion

Understanding the concept of the L + Ratio and how to calculate it is an important part of configuring and using an embossing system. It is a critical factor in determining how successfully the embossing process will run, and making sure that it is at the correct ratio will ensure a good result from the system.
