1 Introduction
• Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shuto󰀨
valve of the applicator.
• Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage.
• Switch o󰀨 all a󰀨ected 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 labelling position.
During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry away. Before any
alterations are undertaken in those areas, close the compressed air shuto󰀨 valve.
• The device may only be used in a dry environment, do not expose it to moisture (water splashes, sprays and mist)
• 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 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.
• Always have service work done by a qualied workshop, where the personnel have the technical knowledge and
tools required to do the necessary work.
• There are various warning stickers on the device. They draw your attention to danger. Warning stickers may
therefore not be removed.

2.1 Important Features
• The supporting air and the vacuum as well as the speed of the cylinder is adjustable. Thus the applicator can be
adjusted to di󰀨erent label materials and sizes.
• To avoid contamination within the vacuum channels they are cleaned by an air pressure pulse at the end of each
application.
• For operation in a system the I/O interface of the printer can be used.
