2.1 Auto Apply Mode
The dispenser detects a product by using the Feed sensor, and
begins to feed a tag.
During feed, an air assist jet is used to ensure that the tag comes
into contact with the applicator apply mechanism.
The applicator may be in the form of a vacuum pad or belt-driven
applicator.
When the feed is completed, the air assist jets hold the tag to the
applicator.
The applicator waits for the apply delay timer to elapse, then
activates the apply mechanism
Note: No Apply sensor is used.
2.2 On Demand Mode
In this case, the sequence is similar to Auto Apply , except that this
time both Feed and Apply signals are used.
The Feed sensor is activated and the tag is fed onto the applicator.
After the tag is dispensed, Cimjet waits for the Apply signal.
The Apply sensor is activated; the applicator waits for the apply
delay timer to elapse, and then it applies the tag.
