4.2.7Adjust pressure roller

Depending on the application the foam roller has to be adjusted. Loose the both screws and tighten the screws again after the adjustment was done.

4.3 Initializing new label material

The machine requires data of the label material in use i.e. label length and opacity of the label and backing material. In most cases, those parameters can be scanned during automatic initialisation. This is not always possible.

During initialisation, the machine uses its label sensor to determine where the labels are on the label web and the distance between the leading edge of labels (the label pitch) so that they can be positioned correctly.

There are several modes of initialisation:

yAutomatic mode: The machine measure the setting

yManual mode: The operator measures the label parameter and keys in the values.

In most cases, initialisation should be executed in fully automatic mode. For fully automatic initialisation, the "LPIT" and "CONT" parameters should be set to "AUTO". Initialisation can be executed by pressing the <FEED key> whenever the message "INIT" is displayed by the machine.

The message "INIT" is displayed in the following cases:

a)if the <FEED> key is pressed and held during power up

b)on return to the standard menu after the "CONT" or "LPIT" parameters have been changed to automatic mode

c)on return to the standard menu after the configuration menu has been used

d)after clearing the error messages E__0 or E__1 in the standard menu. (If the feed key is pressed while another parameter is displayed, the data from the last initialisation is held and the first label edge detected is simply moved to the position defined by the "STOD" parameter)

To start initialisations simply press the <FEED> key when "INIT" is displayed.

The machine will slowly feed the label web while it searches for the gaps between labels and measures the label pitch. When the machine has determined this information it will move the
