Operating your AG3000T(-LS)
Print & apply cycle: the basics
The labelling cycle is initiated by the START signal, given by the applicator control box. The cycle
can only begin if the buffer memory of the printer is provided with data, the printer READY signal
to the applicator is on and the applicator operating status is RUN. Once the START signal is given,
the control unit instructs the printer to print a label, while simultaneously the blow valve (OFUK) is
opened. The lower blow nozzle ensures the secure detachment of the label from the carrier tape
and its transfer onto the application head using suction. The label is secured in place on the
application head by a vacuum. Subsequently the piston rod lowers the application plate onto the
product to apply the label, before the application plate is returned to its upper standby position,
thus completing the application cycle.
Data exchange may take place between the printer and auxiliary systems via one or more of the
available interfaces on the printer (USB, LAN, SERIAL, USB Host as well as optional WIFI and BT). No
data are sent to the printer via the applicator control unit.
