HOW TO SET UP A VARIABLE DATA APPLICATION
•
TAMP / BLOW WITHOUT AN ENCODER WITH TWO TRIGGER PHOTO EYES
Variable data application is utilized when the LM3510 is interfaced with a scale or other equipment that will be
transmitting a DIFFERENT label format to the applicator for every label that is applied. When this option is
activated, the use of the
pre-print photo eye (option) is required
. The pre-print photo eye will trigger the printing
of the label. The product photo eye (switch) will trigger the application (tamp) of the label. The reason for two
triggers is to improve the accuracy of the label placement when
printing before applying
.
General set up
1. The PRE-PRINT photo eye connects to the remote trigger connector pre-print product switch P1-A.
2. The PRE-PRINT photo eye should be set to trigger on the leading edge of the product.
3. The PRE-PRINT photo eye should be set to trigger BEFORE the product switch.
4. The PRE-PRINT photo eye should be set to allow the printer enough time to print the format before the
product switch is activated.
5. The PRODUCT DELAY should be kept to a minimum.
Determine the following and select it in the software
•
PREPRINT TAMP
WITHOUT AN ENCODER
1. Type of application mode. Select PREPRINT TAMP
2. Enter a value in the tamp duration (start with 00.20)
3. Set head up limit switch, normally open is standard
4. Use the product delay to “MOVE” the label on the product
The asynchronous application mode is used to apply labels to products that are either stationary or moving at a
constant speed when the label application is to take place.
