Fine Tuning Adjustments
Once Tabber is programmed for a job it may be necessary to fine tune settings for optimum
performance. Any job in memory can be modified or changed at any time before or during
operation. Memory is non-volatile in that once a job is programmed, turning machine OFF or
disconnecting it from its electrical source will not erase memory.
Job can be overwritten at any time.
Side Tab Positioning
Whether you are using Head 1 or Head 2 , adjustments
to tab position from lead edge of piece is done in
