If the M400 transport is new, the proper dead plate will be included. Otherwise,
it will be necessary to replace the dead plate on the M400 transport system. If
your M400 is well used, you may need to apply a penetrating oil an hour or
longer on the head-less Allen screws before attempting to disassemble the dead
plate. Find the new Allen screws in the mounting kit. Install the dead plate,
bearing in mind that the tapered end of the dead plate belongs at the entrance
point for product, the flat end for discharge of product.
Now install the photoelectric eye block onto the adjustable side belt cover of the
M400 transport system. Find the two pre-drilled holes on the (outside)
adjustable side belt cover and, using the two socket head screws that accompany
the photo eye block, mount the block. (For older units without these holes, use
the block as a template and drill two holes for #10-32 screws.) Ideally, the
photoelectric eye will be positioned just before the print head. If not, you may
have to re-install the block in a more suitable location.
Lastly, install the print head. Before mounting the print head to the bottom
coding print head assembly, remove the print head cover. (The cover will not be
used in bottom coding.) The print head fits on the mounting assembly as shown
below. (The bottom coding print head mounting assembly consists of two
pieces: the fixed mount plate and the adjustable mount plate).
With the mounted print head assembly, coming from under the dead plate,
position this assembly so that the print head is visible through the hole in the
dead plate. When correctly aligned, the clearance hole in the mounting bracket
will fit on the dowel pin in the dead plate. Using the shoulder screw provided,
