Adjusting mark sensor position
The DLP-2100 machine is fitted with an amplified laser
black mark sensor. It can be moved laterally within the
die cutting area to reduce set up time for each job and
minimize any setting changes. Follow these
instructions when setting up a new job.
1.
Open the
Manual
Control screen and advance
the media until the laser sensor is aimed at a
registration mark.
2.
Loosen the thumbscrew and slide the sensor
so the laser is at the center of the mark,
laterally, if necessary.
3.
Tighten the thumbscrew.
4.
Return to the
Main
screen and touch
Settings
5.
Enter the
Pitch Length
and return to the
Main
screen.
6.
Verify that you have enough slack between the
printer and the press to perform at least two full cuts.
a.
Print more labels, if needed.
7.
Touch the
Home cycle
button.
TIP: If you do not adjust the collars towards the back of the press and regularly place the registration
mark at the same position in your artwork, the position of the sensor should not need to be
changed.
Recalibrating the Mark Sensor
Before carrying out this procedure you should have the sensor already positioned on the black mark on
your media, as outlined above.
1.
With the laser
pointing directly
onto the black
mark, move the
small switch on
the right from
RUN
to
SET
.
The mark sensor is sent already calibrated to read a black mark on white media.
Follow these instructions if the sensor needs to be recalibrated for different media.
