Preparation of the device
7.1
Installation
The AP16-F should be placed on a flat, horizontal surface larger than its base. There must be sufficient space
around the device for normal operation and maintenance. Insert the included power cord into the connector
on the back panel (Pic. 2, no. 14), and connect it with a 220V-240V AC mains socket. In case you wish to use
the foot pedal, plug its connector into the socket on the back side of the AP16-F as well (Pic. 2, no. 17). Then
install the media. For safety reasons we highly recommend switching on the device AFTER installing the media.

Media loading
Picture 3.0
Hint:
measure the label lengths and gap lengths and calculate the required stop positions before you load the
media. See paragraph 8.3 and 8.4 how to calculate the correct stop positions.
Remove the label roll holder (Pic. 1, no. 8) from the device, insert it into your label roll and place it back. Use
the label roll positioners (Pic. 1, no. 7) to align the media according to the desired position on the product.
Lead the media through the AP16-F according to picture 3.0. The labels must face the bottom side of the
applicator, go underneath the label guide rod, through the sensor and around the peeling edge. To lead the
media between the liner drive roller and pressure roller, you disengage the latter by pulling it towards you. You
then pull the liner over the label roll and let the liner pressure roller engage again.
Now switch on the device.
