page.
Labels are wrinkled (or crumpled) on the
product
Feed speed too high
Reduce Feed Speed per “WIPE Parameter Setup” page.

steeper angle to the product surface. See “WIPE Mechanical

edge
For labels longer than 50,8 mm (2”), move the brush away
from the peel blade edge and angle to 45°.

web travel is not straight, or excessive
