3.  Place the container on the Container Idler Roller and Container Drive Roller.  Orient the 

container with the top to the left or the right, depending on the orientation of your labels on
the label stock roll. (Figure 3-3.)

4.  Adjust the Container Guides so the labels will be placed in the desired location on the 

container. Since it is difficult to get the label stock in the same position each time, we 
recommend that you adjust the container relative to the label stock using the Container
Guides.  If you have several containers that have different labels for each it may be useful to
record the distance between the edge of the label stock and the container guides for each job
using the Position Scale. (Figure 3-4.)

5.  Once the Container Guides are

in the correct position use the
Thumb Screws to secure them 
in place.  

Figure 3-3.

Thumb Screw

Position Scale

Tip!

Both Container Guides may be

used, but for maximum efficiency,
typically only one is used to position
the container.

Tip!

If the label

stock covers the
Thumb Screw,
try using the
other guide
and/or moving
the position of
the roll.

Note

: Guides can be removed and

swapped to accommodate narrower
containers. To accomplish this it is
only necessary to remove one of the
guides. See Section 6 for
instructions.
