Calibrating the label pitch automatically:

Or: Enter the label pitch manually: Measure the label pitch [45C].
Call the LABEL SETUP > Label pitch function. Enter the measured value in millimetres.
Label stop position
Prerequisites:
– The label length must be specified.
The next label to be dispensed waits in the label stop position. Here it is useful if the label protrudes over the dispensing edge a little [46].
ALS 20X and ALS 256 labellers are pre- configured for use with the supplied label sensor. If this sensor is employed, the label stop position setting will only require minimal correction.
Correcting the default setting:
Call the LABEL SETUP > Lab. stop offset function. Increase the value to increase the overhang or lower the value to reduce the overhang.
The value ‘0’ will cause the label to stop with its front edge directly under the label sensor.
The front edge of the next label to be dispensed should be flush with the dispensing edge:
Enter the distance [46A] between the label sensor and the dispensing edge.
The front edge of the label to be dispensed should overhang:
Add the length of the overhang to the distance between the label sensor and the dispensing edge.
