Stop position ___________________________________________________ STOD
The stopping position (STOD) defines the position where the label stops after it has passed the label sensor. The value represents 1/10 mm. In the example 0160 has to be adjusted by pressing the FUNCTION keys. If an increased value is chosen, the label is advanced further, in case of decreased values the position is closer to the label sensor.

Dispense speed __________________________________________________VELO
The speed value VELO displays the dispensing speed in 0.1 m/min. The product conveyor speed has to be constant to assure accurate labelling. A change of the product speed causes a different position of the label on the product. In case of inaccurate labelling, it should be verified, if the speed of the dispenser and your product match together. This is done automatically if the optional automatic speed follower (APSF) is installed.
If the machine is equipped with an applicator, two parameters in the standard menu can be changed. The delay time which specifies the moment when the applicator must put the label onto the product and the blow time - how long the applying of the label should take.
Start delay_______________________________________________________STAD
By the aid of the parameter STAD the period of time between the recognition by the product sensor and the dispensing of the label onto the product is determined. The time units are ms, the time is adjusted by the keys FUNCTION.
