Q and A My I-Mark is printing backawards.

Published by Drew Davis on

Problem:

We took a controller from another machine that is undergoing some work.

The controller I have currently has all the correct firmware.  I do have an issue, whenever I print out data, it seems to all be backwards.  IE, if I try to print 1234, I get 4321.  Do I have a setting wrong somewhere?

 Answer:

In the controller’s properties there is an option to “Revers Byte Order”.  This will should invert the string.

 

But it’s likely just the way that your string is being sent over EtherNet/IP.

 

 

 

Here is a screen shot of where this property is at.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that then just make sure you “Download” and the setting will apply.
