Warning!
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
• Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shuto󰀨
valve at 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 of belts and fans. During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long
hair, loose clothes, and jewelry distant.
• During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry distant.
• 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.

5
1 Introduction
• Always have service work done in 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 dangers. Warning stickers must
therefore not be removed, as then you and other people cannot be aware of dangers and may be injured.

3 Operation
3.1 Standard Operation
Check all external connections.
Load the material. "Operator's Manual"
Switch on the printer.
Press the respectively feed at the printer.
A synchronization feed is initiated. The processed labels need 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 synchronization also has to be carried out when the print job is interrupted with respectively the
cancel key.
Synchronizing is not necessary if the print head was not lifted between print jobs. This also applies if the
printerwaspoweredo󰀨inbetweenprintjobs.
Start a print job.
Start the labelling process via PLC interface.
Error messages that occur during the labelling process are shown in the display of the printer.

5 Adjustments
i
Note!
The position of the applicator to the printer is predetermined by the factory and should not be altered to
guarantee a reliable label take-over. Only change the angle of the applicator and the pressure of the pinch
roller.

Warning!
If you loosen screw (1) the device will drop onto its own weight! Potential risk of injury!
Loosen screw (1) to set the angle, or depth, of the applicator to the printer.
Set the angle to the product (4) and fasten the screw (1).
i
Note!
The bottom of the printer edge (2) and the product (4) should be about 2 mm less than the measured
distance of the bottom edge of the pinch roller (3) and bottom edge of the printer (2) to ensure enough
pressure for the pinch roller for successful applications.

Fig. 11 Label transport/reex sensor
Waiting position of the label
The operation mode "Blow" must be selected in the setup: Setup > Labelling > Transfer mode .
Only once this is selected is it possible to change the parameter "Blow time" .
After detection of the label (3) by the reex sensor (1) it will be transported further for a set time to reach the pinch
roller (4).
To change this value use the parameter:
> Blow time
A higher value causes a longer transport distance.
200 ms equates to 10 mm. Setup parameters of the applicator
Overrun of the label
If the label (3) has left the sensor area (2) it will be transported further for a dened time to apply the label via the
roller. To change this overrun time use the parameter:
> Support delay on
5.3 Signals
• The signal DREE causes the printing of the label wich is then transported to the waiting position.
• The signal START will transport and apply the label to the product.
In the application mode "Apply - Print" the printing of the next label starts directly after application of the previous
label.
In the application mode "Print - Apply" the signal DREE must be sent for the print of each label.

7 Test Operation
7.1 Test Mode without a Print Job
Fig. 12 Display
By alternating between buttons and on the display it is possible to simulate the labeling process
without an active printing job.
Push button .
This causes the feed of an empty label. Simultaneously the vacuum of the pad as well as the supporting air are
activated. As soon as the label has securely arrived at the pad the supporting air is switched o󰀨.
Push button .
When pushing this button the cylinder Z is extended into the labeling position. Reaching the labeling position is
signalized by the triggering of the impact sensor. With that signal the vacuum is stopped and the label is applied
to the product. With the application of the label the cylinder is contracted back into the starting position.
i
Note!
Usetheprintercongurationtondthebestpeel-o󰀨o󰀨setfortheinitiation.
7.2 Test Mode with a Print Job
This method allows testing of the labeling process with actual printing data by using the button.
Send a print job.
The test mode is executed in two half cycles:
Push the button.
Half cycle 1
A label is printed. The vacuum of the pad as well as the supporting air (blow tube) are switched on. When the
label has been picked up by the pad, the supporting air is switched o󰀨.
Push the button.
Half cycle 2
The pad is moved to the labelling position. The triggered impact sensor signals when the labelling position is
reached. The vacuum is switched o󰀨 as soon as the label is placed onto the product. Then, the pad is moved
back into the starting position.
If the label is removed by hand after half cycle 1 has been completed and the button is pressed, half cycle
1will be repeated with the next label in the printing line.
