3.1 Standard Operation
Check all external connections.
Load the material. Ensure that the locking system is closed "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, or the
vacuum sensor may be calibrated incorrectly.
Switch on the printer.
i
Note!
In case the pad is outside the starting position at the moment of switching on the air pressure the procedure
will be interrupted and an error message will be displayed.
By pushing the pause button on the printer the error is acknowledged and the pad will move back to its
starting position.
The Applicator is ready for work.
Press the feed key of the printer.
A synchronization feed is initiated and the processed labels need 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 start of the printing line.
i
Note!
This synchronizing 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 off between print jobs.
Start a print job.
Start the labelling process via PLC interface.
Error messages that occur during the labelling process are shown in the display of the printer 4 Error Messages.
