SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Place the label roll onto the reel hanger bar. The roll should be against a metal lock clip
so that it is held straight. Place second metal lock clip onto reel hanger bar to keep the
labels snug.
Thread the web under the guide rod, between the hold down and the strip plate and back
under the strip plate. Lay the web across the slot in the take-up hub. Lock the web in po-
sition with the metal lock rod. (The take-up hub turns counter-clockwise.)
Daisy-chain option:
LD3000 dispensers can be “daisy-chained” together to operate in series. When a label is
removed from one of the machines, the next label will not feed until the labels are removed
from all the machines. Example: If 3 machines are “daisy-chained” together, when a label
is taken off the rst machine, it will not feed; when a label is taken off the second machine,
it will not feed. When the label is taken from the third machine, all machines will feed their
respective labels. (LD3000-CABLE needed to “daisy-chain” machines.)

ADJUSTMENTS
Hold Down:
Using the upper thumbscrew on the side of the machine, adjust the hold down for
tensioning. For best results, labels should be pressed rmly against the strip plate.
However, if the labels are held too tightly, they will cause excessive drag on the motor.
Photosensor:
The photosensor can be adjusted in any direction by using the lower thumbscrew on
the side of the machine and the thumbscrew underneath the photosensor bracket.
Loosening the thumbscrew on the side of the machine allows the photosensor to move
in and out. This is used to set the overhang distance of the label over the strip plate.
The thumbscrew underneath the photosensor bracket is used to swivel the sensor
along the front of the strip plate. When the label is being fed the correct distance, lock
the bracket in place. If there are 2 or more labels across, align the photosensor with the
last label to be removed. When these screws are locked in place, the machine is set.
