Adjusting the Blow Tube (Supporting Air)
The blow tube must be adjusted in such a way that the label takeover is unhindered by turbulence and the supporting
air blows the label evenly against the suction plate.

Adjust the blow tube
The blow tube (4) 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 the blow tube (3) into the tube adapter B (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 as many holes of the blow tube as are needed 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).
5. To increase the support air turn the setting screw on the throttle valve (5) counterclockwise.
