Print-Apply
:
An external start signal releases the print of a label and following the
application of the label. After a cycle is complete, the pad without label
waits in the start position.
Apply-Print
:
An extra signal starts the print of the first label and the transfer of the
label to the pad. The external start signal releases the application of
the label and following the print and transfer of the next label.
After a cycle is complete, the pad with a label is in the waiting
position.

Blow on
Switch-on time (max. 2,5 s) of the blowing air for the label transfer
0 ms
> Roll-on time
only at Mode of oper.
Roll on
Dwell time (max. 5 s) of the pad in the labelling position
0 ms
> Support delay
on
Setting the switch-on delay (max. 2,5 s) for the supporting air between
print start and switching on the supporting air. The delay prevents
swirling at the front of the label and, consequently, avoids faults when
the label is being picked up from the printer.
0 ms
> Support del.
off
Setting the switch-off delay (max. 2,5 s) for the supporting air between
the end of label forwarding and switching on the supporting air. The
delay can be useful to separate the rear edge of the label from the
carrier to avoid errors and to improve the accuracy of label positioning
270 ms
> Delay time
Delay (max. 2,5 s) between start signal and the start of an labelling
cycle.
Allows e.g. the use of product sensors at conveyors.
0 ms
> Lock time
All start signals coming in following the first start signal are ignored
when they arrive within the lock time.
0 ms
> Peel position
Shift the position of the dispensed label relatively to the dispense
edge. In the software an extra peel offset value is available. The
offset values from “Peel position“ and from software are added
0,0 mm
> Vacuum control
Setting the label transfer check from printer to pad and from pad to
product by the vacuum sensor
