2. Reverse - If you select the Reverse mode under the Print Sequence menu: Data is
downloaded to print engine buffer and resides there until required. When the
product detect photo-eye senses the product, the print engine is triggered and a
label is then printed and dispensed. As soon as the label is completely dispensed
onto the tamp pad or blow on grid the application is accomplished (tamp, blow -on,
etc…) At the end of the application cycle the printer awaits another trigger from the
photocell to start the process over. This continues until the quantity of labels
(designated by the 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.
