1 Introduction
• Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shutoff
valve at the applicator.
• Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage.
• Switch off all affected devices (computer, printer, accessories) before connecting or disconnecting.
• In operation, moving parts are easily accessible.
This applies especially for the zone, where the pad is moved between the starting and the labeling position.
During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry distant. Before any
manipulations in those areas, close the shutoff valve.
• The device may only be used in a dry environment, do not expose it to moisture (sprays of water, mists, etc.).
• Do not use the device in an explosive atmosphere.
• Do not use the device close to high-voltage power lines.
• Perform only those actions described in this operating manual.
Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or service technicians.
• Unauthorized interference with electronic modules or their software can cause malfunctions.
• Otherunauthorizedworkonormodicationstothedevicecanalsoendangeroperationalsafety.

2 Product Description
2.1 Important Features
• The supporting air and the vacuum as well as the speed of the cylinder are adjustable. That way the applicator
can be adapted to different label materials and sizes.
• To avoid contamination within the vacuum channels they are cleaned by air pressure impulse at the end of each
application.
• For operation in a system the I/O interface of the printer can be used.

Note!
Please keep the original packaging in case the applicator must be returned.
!
Attention!
The device and printing materials will be damaged by moisture and wetness.
Set up label printer with applicator only in dry locations protected from splash water.

3 Operation
3.1 Standard Operation
Check all external connections.
Load the material. Ensure that the locking system is locked "Operator's Manual" of the printer.
Open the shutoff valve.
!
Attention!
Ensure that the pad is not covered by a label when switching on the printer-applicator system.
Otherwise the vacuum sensor may be calibrated faultily.
Switch on the printer.
i
Note!
If the pad is not in the start position when the printer is switched on an error message appears on the
display.
Press button pause at the printer.
The applicator will move into the start position and is ready for work.
Press the button feed at the printer.
A synchronization feed is released. The processed labels have to be removed manually. After a few seconds the
printer carries out a short backfeed to position the front edge of the next label at the printing line
i
Note!
This synchronizing also has to be carried out when the print job has been interrupted with the cancel key.
Synchronizing is not necessary when the print head was not lifted between print jobs. This also applies if
the printer was powered off between print jobs.
Start a print job
Start the labeling process via PLC interface.
Error messages during labeling process are shown in the display of the printer 4 Error Messages.
3.2 Cleaning
!
Attention!
Never use solvent and abrasive.
1
Clean the outside surfaces with multi purpose cleaner.
In regularly function it is possible that accrue dust
particles and label splits. Remove that by a soft brush or/
and a vacuum cleaner.
Especially at slide foil (1) it is possible that fouling deposit.
To receive an ideal takeover and handling of the label it
is necessary to clean the surface of slide foil at regular
intervals
