air blows the label evenly against the pad.
The default factory value is 2 bar.

A number of holes of the blowing tube are covered by plastic rings. It is necessary remove as many of these

Adjust the blow tube
The blow tube (3) for the supporting air can be rotated around its axis. That way the direction of the supporting air can
be optimized.
1. Loosen screw (1).
2. Put in the blow tube (2) into the tube adapter A (2).
Turn the blow tube (2) in the direction that the air current can support the take up of the label.
•
For small labels direct the air current more toward the dispensing edge (5) of the printer.
•
For larger labels direct the air current away from the dispense edge (6).
Use the graduation guide for orientation.
3. Open all holes of the blow tube to cover the label width. Remove rings (4) if necessary.
All holes outside the label width should be covered with the shrink tube rings provided. Once the unneeded holes
have been covered the shrink tube should be shrunk.
4. Tighten screw (1).
