4.4 Problem - Solution Table
Problem
Cores are slipping on the
mandrels.
The matrix is getting caught up in
the slitter station.
Paper is walking back to front
across the web.
FX1000 stops in the middle of a
job.
Paper is ripping on the edges
Paper is not feeding through the
FX1000 but rollers are turning
Finished labels or curling up or
under.
Solution
1. Turn the core engagement knob tighter.
2. The core inner diameter may be too large. Try
different cores.
1. Switch on the Matrix Mandrel.
2. Increase tension.
1. The edge of the input roll is not even with the
stop disc.
2. The input roll is not wrapped tight enough.
Manually pull the roll tighter while it is on the input
mandrel.
Web Break Detection was activated or the
Emergency Stop was depressed.
1. Make sure all cores are tight on the mandrels.
Turn the core engagement knobs clockwise to
tighten them.
2. Check for a torn/broken web (media). It typically
breaks at the Matrix mandrel. Reconnect the matrix
or take up mandrels. If it continues to break,
tension at that point will need to be decreased.
1. Adjust the guide collars outward. (3.7)
2. Check the position of the input roll. Make sure it
is even with the stop disc.
Close the nip point.
Too much humidity will cause labels to curl on the
edges. 50% humidity and 72 degrees Fahrenheit is
the optimal conditions for both storage and used of
label stock. Store label stock in protective plastic
wrappings. Rewrap partially used stock. Do not
store stock directly on concrete floors. Label stock
should be conditioned in this environment for 72
hours prior to use.
