The Y value does not change if the colored tape and the Data Matrix code tape are aligned.
Ensure that the center line of the colored tape and the center line of the Data Matrix code are on
a line.
The code tape is made of silicone-free polyester film. A position marker appears every 100 mm
along the lower edge of the code tape (see "Code Tape Dimensions"). This position marker is
used for various functions, including precise positioning of the code tape during installation.
The reverse side of the code tape carries a permanent modified acrylate-based adhesive. Affix
the self-adhesive code tape along the desired travel path. To do so, proceed as follows:
Installing the Code Tape
1. Clean the surface of any greasy or oily deposits and dust.
2. Ensure that the surface is dry, clean, and stable.
3. Pull away a few centimeters of the protective film at the beginning of the code tape. Place
the code tape at the precise point of the required starting position on the surface, and press
to attach.
4. Then affix the code tape along the desired travel path. Remove the protective film gradually
so that the code tape does not accidentally adhere to the surface in the incorrect position.
When affixing, ensure that the code tape does not crease or trap air bubbles.
The adhesive on the code tape hardens after 72 hours.

Caution!
Alignment
The Data Matrix code is not on the center line of the code tape.
Note!
Thermal Expansion of the Code Tape
The affixed code tape corresponds to the heat expansion coefficient of the surface with regard
to its thermal expansion.
