Attaching die plates
Use these instructions to attach a die plate to your magnetic cylinder. The DLP-2100 has adjustments
for moving the label in relation to the die so that your plate does not need to be in the exact lateral
position at this stage. Concentrate on getting the die plate square to the top-of-die line on the magnetic
cylinder and as close as possible to the desired position across the web.

Watching the cylinder, touch and hold the
button labeled

until the top-of-die line on the cylinder (highlighted
in green below) can be seen and is about two-
thirds of the way up.

Align the top of the die with the cylinder line, roughly in line with the printed media.

Allow only the top edge of the die plate to contact the magnetic cylinder until the top
edge and line are aligned.
