1
Sensor
Whenever the permissible material thickness is
exceeded, the sensor will trigger the abrupt stop
of the machine.
2
Scanning bar
Floats normally above the printing material. Is
touched and raised by too thick a printing materi-
al.
3
Marks
Marks for adjusting the scanning bar to the thick-
ness of the employed printing material.
Function of the infeed height control
The infeed height control monitors the height of the material.
If a label comes loose from the substrate and sticks up, or two labels are
stuck on top of each other, they should not be allowed to enter the printing
unit.
Whenever the permissible material thickness is exceeded, the sensor will
trigger the abrupt stop of the machine and its feed process, so that the la-
bels in question cannot enter the printing unit.
Functional principle: The scanning bar of the height control floats above the
entire printing width of the printing substrate
. Whenever “thicker” material
comes along, then the scanning bar will rise, which in turn lifts a lever from
a corresponding sensor inside the printer. If the distance is too great, the
sensor will trigger an alarm and cause the transport of material to be
stopped abruptly.
The scanning bar sits on an eccentric and can be rotated. This permits the
scanning bar to be adjusted to different printing material thicknesses. Mark
#3 shows the currently selected value. Adjust the required value when you
change the printing material.
The range specification defines the thickness of the printing material in mil-
limeters. The specification in parentheses defines the maximum passage
height in millimeters.
Example: "0.0 - 0.2 (0.5)" means: This setting is suitable for printing materi-
al of a thickness of 0.0 ... 0.2 mm. Any irregularities may pass infeed height
control up to a height of 0.5 mm.
Notice
Solely the system user is responsible for any damage on the print
heads that results from incorrect settings of the infeed height control
unit!
Use the specifications in the following table when you select the deflection
rollers for a printing material and when you adjust the scanning bar of the
infeed height control unit.
