JOB SETUP
NOTE: When reading through this section of the Manual, refer to section 14 for web path diagrams.
THREADING LABELS
1. With the power off remove the Outer Unwind Disk.
2.
Make sure the inside of the Inner Un wind Disk is at least 1 1/4” away from the faceplate of the
Applicator.
3.
Slide a roll of labels over the Unwind Hubs and push against the Inner Disk. Make sure the labels
are face up as they unwind. Replace the Outer Disk and lock in place.
4.
Remove approx. 3 ft of labels from the liner on the leading part of the roll of labels.
5.
Thread labels through the Applicator referring to the web path diagram section that applies to your
configuration.
a. When going between the Nip and Drive rollers, turn the knob on top of the Nip Assembly to
spread the two rollers.
b. If the Applicator is an Air Blow or Tamp, make sure the web goes between the Peel Edge and
the Air Assist Tube.
6.
Remove Rewind Pin, lay the label liner over the Pin Slot and replace Pin.
7.
Align Guide Collars with the Unwind Assembly.
8.
Lower the Nip Roller so that it comes into contact with the Drive Roller.
9.
Make sure the Label Tension Brush is against the roller. This keeps the web tight between this
point and the Peel Edge.
10.
Re-locate the Spring Block Assembly so that it is in the center of the label and is applying slight
pressure to the top of the labels. This aids in the dispensing of labels off of the Peel Edge.
