Starting the machine
Before each use, the control system must be adapted
to the inserted label material. During this, the label dis-
tance is detected and the photoelectric sensor at the
dispenser head is adapted to the transparency of the
labels and of the backing material. This process is
called
material initialisation
.
Automatic material initialisation
Initialising material at switch-on:
£
Press and hold the FEED key [37A] and switch on
the machine at the main switch [36A].
– The message AUTO [37B] appears on the operator
panel.
– The machine slowly starts up and dispenses a label.
– The label distance is automatically measured.
– The photoelectric sensor is automatically adapted.
£
Release the FEED key once a label gap [38 arrow]
has passed the photoelectric sensor [38A] at the
dispenser head.
If the initialisation was successful:
– „ON“ appears on the operator panel.
– When the FEED key is pressed, a label is dis-
pensed.
If the initialisation was unsuccessful:
– The message FAIL appears on the operator panel.
£
Switch off and automatically re-initialise the ma-
chine.
or:
£
Manually initialise the material employing
qualified calibration technicians.
