first label edge found during the initialisation process to the position that has been adjusted with the "STOD" parameter. After initialisation has been completed successfully, "ON" is displayed. Initialisation can only take place in the standard menu; it is not required in the product menu since all label data is already stored in the machine's memory. After a E__0 or E__1 message has been cleared whilst in the product menu the first label edge detected at the next press of the <FEED> key will be moved to the position defined by the "STOD" value stored in the machine's memory.

However, when changing to a new product bank or changing label rolls the FEED key should be pressed once so that the label sensor can find the next leading label edge and move it to the correct dispense position previously defined by the STOD parameter

4.4 Control of dispense unit

4.4.1Dispenser Menu selection

Turning on the mains switch and at the same time pressing one of the panel keys, you may select between several options:

PANEL KEY	Function	Display message
& mains switch
FEED	Material initialisation	INIT

NEXT FUNCTION	Standard menu	ON

PRIOR FUNCTION	Product menu	PD0n

ENTER	Configuration menu	CODE

Press the key as long as the display shows the version number. One of the above mentioned messages appears in the display. Calling the product menu is only possible, if at least one product bank has been programmed.

If you do not press a panel key while turning on the machine the same menu is active that has been used before the machine was switched off.

4.4.2Missing label function and web breaks

The missing label function stops the label web in the correct position even when a label is missing from the label web. If there are more than 3 missing labels from the web then the machine will stop and give the correct message E_1.

If the label web has broken or come to an end then the machine will no longer be able to find the next leading label edge and so after more than 3 signals from the product sensor the error message E_1 will also be generated.
