Note: 

The TAKE-A-LABEL dispenser is shipped  

mounted to a base to prevent shifting in the container.  

1.  Remove the machine from the base. 

 

 

**Always load the TAKE-A-LABEL dispenser with 

the On-Off switch in the (OFF) position.**  

 

 

     

2.  To load a roll of labels on the TAKE-A-LABEL, 

loosen the unwind hub screw (57) on the unwind 

collar (56) and remove the collar, unwind washer, 

unwind spring, and disc from the unwind shaft.   

 

     

3.  Place the roll of labels on the unwind shaft between  

the two unwind discs. Place the roll with the beginning 

of the roll on the bottom with the web dispensing to 

your right as you face the side of the machine. 

 

 

    

4.  Replace the unwind disc, unwind spring, and collar 

onto unwind shaft. If using labels on a 3” diameter  

core, the hub on each disc will fit inside the core 

and support the roll of labels. If the labels are on a 

1” core, simply slide the disc up snugly against the 

roll of labels. When the disc is in place, tighten the 

unwind hub screw against unwind shaft.   

 

 

     

5.  Thread the loose end of the labels under and up the 

front of the peel plate. 

 

 

 

 

 

     

6.  Pull the labels over the top of the peel plate far 

enough to reach the waste take-up roll.   

 

    

7.  Remove the waste wind clip, thread the label backing 

paper under the clip, and reinsert clip over loose paper. 

8.  Position the Photo Eye or Micro Switch Assembly by 

loosening the wing nuts and moving assembly to the 

right or left, so the sensor is at or near the center of 

the labels. The Photoeye or Micro Switch Assembly 

can be tilted forward or backward by loosening the 

mounting bracket’s vertical adjustment wing nut.   

 

   

9.  Turn on the On-Off switch. The waste wind shaft 

will turn, winding up the backing paper and dis-

pensing alabel at the top of the peel plate. When the 

Photo Eye or Micro Switch senses the dispensed 

portion of the label, the motor will stop. As each 

label is removed, the machine will operate until the 

next label is in position to be removed. 

(CAUTION:) 

Turn off switch before removing wound up waste.

  

 

   

10.  If the labels tend to follow the backing paper over 

the top of the peel plate instead of peeling off, 

then there is insufficient tension on the web of the 

labels. The shaftadjustment collar should be moved 

in to put more tension on the web. 

 

 

  

 

11.  If the motor stalls it may be necessary to move  

the shaft collar out to reduce the amount of  

unwind tension.
