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.
