Print Sequence
1. Normal – If you select the Normal mode in the Print Sequence, Data is
downloaded to print engine buffer from a computer, or other label generating
device, and a label is printed. When the product detect photo-eye senses the
product, it triggers the applicator and the application is accomplished.(tamp,
blow -on, etc…) At the end of the application cycle the printer prints and
dispenses another label automatically. This continues until the quantity of
labels (designated by operator) runs out. As the label is dispensed from the
print engine, the air assist will turn on. At the end of the dispense cycle, the air
assist will de-energize. While the dispense cycle is on the rewind cycle is on.
