5 Application Setup
Once the applicator has been unpacked, attached to the stand and positioned on the
production line, it is ready to be set up to apply labels to the product.
Before attempting to service machinery, the machine must be turned off and
the power and air locked out.
5.1 Loading Labels
The first step in setting up the application is to load labels on the applicator. Begin by
removing the unwind outer media retainer.
1) Extra Support Hub
In cases where wide labels are used, it may be helpful or necessary to install the
extra support hub. The extra hub can help support the added weight of wide
labels on larger rolls. Place the extra support hub on the unwind shaft with the
setscrew over the flat on the shaft. Position the hub so that it is located over half
the width of the labels from the inner hub. Tighten the setscrew on the flat to
secure the hub.
2) Lock Spur Positioning
To load a roll of labels, rotate the inside unwind flange and hub until the lock
spur on the hub is on the top. In a reels-up position, it may be necessary to rotate
the lock spur to a “least exposed” position. This will aid in placing the label roll
core on the hub prior to locking the core to the hub. As an added measure to
ensure that the label roll core engages the lock spur, “flag” a small portion of the
core liner toward the inside of the core. This adds an uneven surface to provide
better grip with the lock spur.
3) Label Roll Installation
Place the roll of labels on the unwind spindle. The roll should be positioned so
the web unwinds from the top of the roll towards the peel tip. With the label core
flush with the inner flange surface, rotate the flange and unwind shaft until the
lock spur is no longer facing upward. Holding the unwind inner flange, turn the
label roll until the lock spur grips the inner core tightly. Reinstall the outer media
retainer and twist roughly ¼ turn to lock it in place.
4) Label Threading
Next, peel off approximately 30 inches of labels from the liner and dispose. This
will make threading and setup easier. Thread the web around the dancer roller,
over the 2” idler roller, under the 1” idler roller, and to the print engine media
entrance. Refer to the appropriate print engine documentation for routing of the
web. If using the apply only module, follow the supplied threading diagram on
the unit.
