ALS 230

1. Important Notes

1.1 Overview

The AVERY ALS 230 is a fully automatic labeller. Handling is very easy and can be learned with a minimum of training. For operation, only a few adjustments are necessary. The machine is controlled by a microprocessor and because of its programmable functions, it can be used in many applications.

Except for cleaning the rollers and the label sensor there is no periodical maintenance necessary. This manual should help you to operate the ALS 230. In chapter 2 the machine is described and many expressions are explained. For normal operating chapters 3 and 4 are important. All other chapters give additional details of the machine.

For technical questions, particularly in case of problems, your local service organisation will be pleased to help you.

Note: This manual applies to ALS 230s equipped with a software version from 5.x onwards.
