Intended use
Label print dispensers of series ALX 73x are designed for printing, dispensing and ap-
plying self-adhesive labels using the direct thermal or thermal transfer procedure. The
individual versions (ALX 734, ALX 735, ALX 736) differ in the maximum print width.
Different combinations of thermal transfer ribbons and label materials are used and
must be available in the form of rolls.
The label material that is used must be punched, i.e. the self-adhesive labels adhere
individually, separately by punchings, on a carrier material. The labels must only ad-
here strongly enough so that they will come loose when the material is deflected over
a sharp edge.
Any other type of or more extensive application will be considered non-intended use.
Avery Dennison shall assume no liability for damage resulting from non-intended use
of the machine.
Information and qualification
Ensuring the neces-
sary qualification
Only fully trained and authorised personnel are permitted to operate, adjust and
maintain the machine.
Service work must only be performed by qualified and appropriately trained techni-
cal specialists (service technicians) or the customer service department.
Areas of responsibilities for operating and servicing the machine must be clearly
defined and consistently observed.
Personnel must also be regularly instructed in on-the-job safety and environmental
protection.
Qualification for
operation
The instruction provided for the operating personnel must ensure:
•
that the operating personnel can use the machine independently and without
danger.
•
that the operating personnel can rectify minor operating faults (for example a pa-

At least 2 persons should be instructed in operation.
Have a sufficient quantity of label materials available for tests and instruction.
Qualification for
system integrators and
service technicians
Knowledge required to install the print dispenser and perform service work
must be demonstrated through appropriate qualification. Only service person-
nel with technical training are able to assess the tasks to be performed and
recognise potential dangers.

example in Germany the training to become a mechatronics engineer).
•
Participation in a technical training course for the corresponding label dispenser
offered by the manufacturer.
•
The service personnel must be acquainted with the functionality of the label dis-
penser.
