• Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shutoff
valve of 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 labelling 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.

Note!
Please keep the original packaging in case the applicator must be returned or transported.
!
Attention!
The device as well as the printing materials will be damaged by moisture and wetness.
Only set up label printer with applicator in dry locations protected from moisture and splashes.

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 of the air pressure.
!
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 incorrectly.
Switch on the printer.
i
Note!
In the case of the pad being outside the starting position when switching on the printer the print process
will be interrupted and an error message will be shown on the display.
If you push the pause button on the printer the applicator will move into the start position.
The Applicator is ready for work.
Press the feed key on the printer.
A synchronization feed is initiated. The processed labels have to be removed manually. After a few seconds the
printer carries out a short backward feed 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 was 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 labelling process via I/O interface.
Error messages during the labelling process are shown in the display of the printer 4 Error Messages.
3.2 Cleaning
!
Attention!
Never use solvent or abrasive.
1
Clean the outside surfaces with multi purpose cleaner.
Remove dust particles and leftover label pieces with a soft
brush and/or vacuum cleaner.
The slide foil (1) requires regular cleaning as the most dirt
is deposited here.
