2. Use the flow control valve (located on the air cylinder) to adjust the speed
of the return stroke. (Figure 14.) Increase the speed by rotating the valve
counterclockwise and decrease the speed by rotating the valve
clockwise.
3. Set the Cycle Delay time for the product sensor using the Applicator
Delay menu. (See “Applicator Delay Menu” on page 95.)
NOTE: The Cycle Delay setting determines the amount of delay from the
time that the product sensor detects the product to the time that the
applicator pad is online. Since the label prints first, be sure to account
for printing time. The longer the time entered, the farther back (closer
to the trailing edge) the label will be placed onto the product.
Conversely, if this value is set to zero, for example, the applicator pad
will launch as soon as the label is printed.
Begin by setting the Cylinder Extend time to 100 msec to begin this
adjustment procedure. (See “Applicator Delay Menu” on page 95.)
