V.2.01
The machine is specifically designed to apply labels to a bag or pouch. The labels
must be on a single roll or arranged in order on the roll for two label applications.
To operate the machine, place the bag or pouch into the guide plate, between the
adjustable guides, and the system will automatically start. As the bag moves through the
guide, the machine applies the label.
Any other use of the machine is not authorized and poses significant risks of
accidents. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any faults or damage caused by
misuse of the machine.
The machine's electrical protection is achieved through the protective sheath of
current-carrying parts and the grounding of the metal housing. It's important to connect
directly to a wall outlet. The machine also features built-in fuses for overcurrent protection,
which should only be replaced by qualified personnel.
Attention !
It's important to follow the technical specifications and not place bags or
pouches in the machine that are larger or smaller than the specified
sizes. Do not use damaged bags or pouches.
Only use labels that are within the specified size range and only
maintain and clean the machine when the power is off.
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the machine and be careful not
to spill liquid on it. Do not insert objects into the openings of the
machine, as this poses a risk of electric shock.
Do not place your hand or fingers on the shafts of the machine! There is a risk of injury!
Attention !
In case of electric shock, immediately disconnect the power cord
from the applicator.
Get medical attention immediately.

Turn ON.
After turning on the power, the welcome logo appears on the display,
followed by the machine information (Fig. 3.1) and then switches to
operating mode (Fig. 3.2).
Determination of "Offset start" and length of the bag
The "Offset start" parameter determines the positioning of the label
on the bag. This value is in MM. The minimum distance from when the bag
is detected to when the label is applied is 40mm. The offset start value is
added to the 40mm value.
For two labels, two parameters are entered - "Offset start 1" for the
first label and "Offset start 2" for the second label.
Measure the length of the bag and enter in that value. The supported
sizes for bags are listed above.
Determination of "Offset stop".
The sensor reading the end of the label is100 mm behind the peeling edge
and its position cannot be changed. This requires entering an offset stop
parameter. Offset stop 1 and Offset stop 2 are required for two labels.
This parameter determines the correct positioning of the next label to
the peel-off edge. The values 󰾬󰾬depend on the length of the label and the gap.
The one label mode is described in Chapter 5. Offset stop - mode 1
label. The two label mode is described in Chapter 6. Offset stop 1, Offset
stop 2 - mode 2 labels.
The online tool to calculate the values can be found on our website,
https://afinialabel.com/calculate-ap200. This QR code will take you to the

Loading labels and setting up the label sensor.
The machine is loaded with a label roll meeting the requirements described in the
specifications section. For better access, the media path assembly can be raised. The
procedure is performed with the power off. Refer to Chapter 7 - Loading labels.
The gap sensor is calibrated with the power on.
Refer to: Chapter 8. Setting up the label sensor.
Positioning of the bag
Position the bag in relation to the label stock. The guides should be adjusted to allow
the bag to pass freely through the media path.
Working with the menu and changing parameters
The applicator has two menu types: user menu and service menu.
The user menu is for the machine operator and allows for adjustments to language,
operating mode (single or double label), start offset, stop offset and bag length. Refer to
Chapter 9 for more details.
The service menu is reserved for service support and allows for enabling/disabling the
user menu password, adjusting speed, and enabling/disabling fast platform speed. Refer to
Chapter 10 for details.
Verifying settings
-Monitor the position of the label, confirming it is flush with the peeling edge. If it is not, this
can be corrected by changing the Offset Stop value
- Monitor the left / right position of the label. Use the side guides to adjust the position.
- Monitor the start position of the label. This can be changed by modifying the Offset Start
value.
