This completes the procedure for setting up the tape input feeder.
Before running a job with the tape input feeder in place, it is necessary to:
• Teach locations to the PNP head. For information, see “Teach the Pack-
age File” on page 3-33.
• Select tape input setting in the AH500 software. For information, see
“Configure Input/Output Settings” on page 3-4.

Setting Up the
Tape Output
System
The PS288 can be configured with an optional tape output system attached
to the Option Bay. Tape output systems come with either heat seal or pres-
sure seal units. See Figure 2-17 and Figure 2-18 below:

PS288 Owner’s Manual 2—15
NOTE: Installation of the tape output system is the same for both
pressure seal and heat seal units, unless noted otherwise. Refer to
the manual that came with your heat seal unit (Taping Machine
Operator’s Manual) or pressure seal unit (Universal PSA Sealer
Operator’s Manual) for additional information.
To set up the tape output system:
1. For first-time installation—
If the tape output system is being installed for the first time, the
WinAH400.ini file may need to be edited to reflect this additional
option.
1a) Using Windows Explorer, open C:\AH400_32\WinAH400.ini.with
NOTEPAD editor.
1b) Locate the section
;------- tape input/output -----
1c) Ensure value for Tape Output Installed is TRUE, as shown.
TapeOutputInstalled=TRUE
1d) Save the WinAH400.ini file and exit Windows Explorer.
2. Determine the width of the carrier tape—
Standard sizes are 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 44, and 56mm.
3. Install carrier tape supply reel—
Place the reel on the spindle so that the carrier tape comes off the top of
the reel with the empty carrier pockets facing up.
4. Insert tape into feeder—
4a) Thread the end of the carrier tape under the Front Tape Guide.
4b) Thread the tape into the Adjustable Loading Track so that it sits under
the guide and on top of the channel, as shown in Figure 2-19.
Figure 2-19—Carrier tape threaded into track
5. Adjust width of Adjustable Loading Track—
The Adjustable Loading Track has detents at 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 44, and
56 mm widths. Adjust the width of the Adjustable Loading Track by
gently pushing in or pulling out the near side to match the width of the
carrier tape, as shown in Figure 2-20.
