.

SET-UP:
1. Remove the two Phillips screws from the hollow end of the QUICK-CHUCK. Place
the Label Flange Plate on the QUICK-CHUCK by placing the hole of the Flange
Plate over the Boss of the QUICK-CHUCK, and reaffixing the two screws through
the Flange-Plate and into the QUICK-CHUCK.
2. Slide the hollow end of the QUICK-CHUCK onto the ZCAT Motor Shaft allowing for
clearance to the Chassis and Motor Screws. Tighten the Allen Screw of the
QUICK-CHUCK onto the flat part of the Motor Shaft until it is tight.
3. Set the unit in place near the printer.
4. Verify that the “RUN/STOP” switch is in the “STOP” position, and that the Torque
Adjust Knob is turned counterclockwise all the way down.
5. Place an empty label core onto the QUICK-CHUCK of the ZCAT Rewinder and
press snugly in place against the Label Flange Plate.
6. Turn the red knob of the QUICK-CHUCK clockwise to expand the QUICK-CHUCK
and affix the empty core firmly in place.
REWINDING LABELS:
7. Thread the material being printed onto the ZCAT as shown in “Figure A”:
(a) Over Rod A
(b) Underneath Roller B
(c) Over and around the top of Tensioning Roller C
(d) Under and around the bottom of Roller D
(e) Tape the leading edge of the material onto the empty core that is on
the QUICK-CHUCK.
(f) Using the supplied Allen Key, loosen the set-screw of Outer Guide Ring F
and position the Guide Ring next to the material being rewound. Retighten
the set-screw.
(g) Loosen the thumb-screw of Outer Guide Ring E and position the Guide Ring
next to the material being rewound. Retighten the thumb-screw.
(Note: the Inner Guide Rings that are positioned against the black metal
chassis of the Rewinder on Rod A, and Rollers B and D require very little
adjustment, if any, and should be aligned with the face of the Label Flange
Plate.)
(h) Push down the material being printed between the printer and Rod A
to form a tensionless loop of material as seen in “Figure A”.
8. Plug the Power Plug at the end of the wire on the Power Supply Module into the
Unit’s Power Input Jack. Plug the Power Supply into an appropriate AC power
outlet.
9. Flip the Master Power Rocker Switch on the rear of the ZCAT to the “Power On”
position.
10. Adjust the angle of Sensor G so that it points at the desired location on the
tensionless loop of material. The angle of the sensor determines the depth of
the loop. Note: The Rewinder will continue to turn as long as the eye of the
sensor can “see” the material in the tensionless loop.)
11. Select either the “HIGH” or “LOW” Torque Setting with the switch on the top of
the unit.
12. Select the desired rewind direction with the switch on the top of the unit.
13. Flip the “RUN/STOP” switch to “RUN”.
14. Turn the black knob of Tensioning Roller C to adjust/achieve the desired tension
of the material being rewound.
15. Gradually turn the Torque Adjust Knob clockwise until the desired rewind speed
is achieved.
