1.3 Safety Instructions
!
Attention!
Initiation, adjustments and changing of parts are to be performed by qualied service personnel only.
!
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 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.

1 Introduction
• 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.
• 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.

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 an air pressure impulse at the end of
each application.
• For operation in a system the I/O interface of the printer can be used.

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 incorrectly.
Switch on the printer.
i
Note!
If the pad is outside the starting position when the printer-applicator system is switched on the procedure
will be interrupted with an error message visible on the display.
Pushing the pause button on the printer will negate the error moving the pad to the starting 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 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 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 down between print jobs.
Start a print job.
Start the labelling process via PLC interface.
Error messages during labelling process are shown in the display of the printer 4 Error Messages.
3.2 Cleaning
!
Attention!
Never use solvent and abrasive.

Clean the outside surfaces with multi purpose cleaner.
During regular use dust particles as well as label snippets
may accumulate. Remove these with a soft brush and/or a
vacuum cleaner.
Especially at the slide foil (1) debris may gather. To ensure
an ideal takeover and handling of the label it is necessary
to clean the surface of slide foil at regular intervals.
