ALF19 Series
4.6 Setting examples
Label 9 mm (or shorter)
The factory setting L 10.0 can cause problems for labels no longer than 9 mm in the
transport direction.
With the factory setting L 10.0, labels with a length of 9 mm (or shorter) are
transported with their rear edge beyond the centre of the sensor and are drawn into
the label feeder.
Under certain circumstances, the label is now not recognised or picked up in the pick-
up position, so that another label is transported.
To avoid this problem, we recommend setting a shorter feed after reaching the pick-up
position of the label in the transport direction (e.g. 8 mm).

Press the Mode button once.

You are in the start screen

Press the Mode button again.

You are in label mode L . The current setting for L is displayed (factory setting 10.0
or customer setting).

Press the Down button until the display shows the value 8.0.

The parameter L was changed from 10 mm to 8 mm.
This change still has to be saved and activated ( note box ).
After the front edge transported over the sensor has been detected, the label is
transported a further 8 mm and then positioned.
Its rear area is then approx. 1 mm above the label carrier sensor. The identification
and pick-up of the label is thus reliably ensured.
Labels longer than 10 mm
The factory setting L 10.0 can cause problems for labels significantly longer than 10
mm in the transport direction.
With the factory setting L 10.0, labels with a length of significantly more than 10 mm
are not completely transported with their rear edge under the bracket clamp of the
label feeder.
Under certain circumstances, the label is now not recognised or picked up in the pick-
up position because it cannot be ensured that the label can be completely detached
from the label carrier.
To avoid this problem, we recommend, e.g. for a 15 mm long label a feed of a
minimum of 12 mm / a maximum of approx. 14.5 mm.
