TAKE-A-LABEL 250 Operating Instructions

Operating Instructions for the TAKE-A-LABEL Model TAL-250-18
Note: The TAKE-A-LABEL dispenser is shipped
mounted to a base to prevent shifting in the container.
1. Remove the machine from the base.
**Always load the TAKE-A-LABEL dispenser with
the On-Off switch in the (OFF) position.**
2. To load a roll of labels on the TAKE-A-LABEL,
loosen the unwind hub screw (57) on the unwind
collar (56) and remove the collar, unwind washer,
unwind spring, and disc from the unwind shaft.
3. Place the roll of labels on the unwind shaft between
the two unwind discs. Place the roll with the beginning
of the roll on the bottom with the web dispensing to
your right as you face the side of the machine.
4. Replace the unwind disc, unwind spring, and collar
onto unwind shaft. If using labels on a 3" diameter
core, the hub on each disc will fit inside the core
and support the roll of labels. If the labels are on a
1" core, simply slide the disc up snugly against the
roll of labels. When the disc is in place, tighten the
unwind hub screw against unwind shaft.
5. Thread the loose end of the labels under and up the
front of the peel plate.
6. Pull the labels over the top of the peel plate far
enough to reach the waste take-up roll.
7. Remove the waste wind clip, thread the label backing
paper under the clip, and reinsert clip over loose paper.
8. Position the Photo Eye or Micro Switch Assembly by
loosening the wing nuts and moving assembly to the
right or left, so the sensor is at or near the center of
the labels. The Photoeye or Micro Switch Assembly
can be tilted forward or backward by loosening the
mounting bracket's vertical adjustment wing nut.

9. Turn on the On-Off switch. The waste wind shaft
will turn, winding up the backing paper and dis-
pensing alabel at the top of the peel plate. When the
Photo Eye or Micro Switch senses the dispensed
portion of the label, the motor will stop. As each
label is removed, the machine will operate until the
next label is in position to be removed. (CAUTION:)
Turn off switch before removing wound up waste.
10. If the labels tend to follow the backing paper over
the top of the peel plate instead of peeling off,
then there is insufficient tension on the web of the
labels. The shaftadjustment collar should be moved
in to put more tension on the web.
11. If the motor stalls it may be necessary to move
the shaft collar out to reduce the amount of
unwind tension.
