Container Platform position in 0.01" [0.25 mm] increments. Press and hold the +/– buttons

to quickly adjust the position. The tray will move as you press the +/– buttons. Once the

container is near the leading edge of the label stock, push down on the Application Arm

to visually verify the correct position. In this mode the label will not apply. Readjust as

necessary. The default position of the platform is 0.0" and will place the leading edge of

the label about 8.0 to 9.0" [20 to 23 cm] from the back of the container. If you are applying

a label to the front edge of a 6" container, for example, your platform position should be

approximately 2.5" (8.5" minus container height = PPo setting). Press "Mode" or "Recall/

Reset" to store this value in the current memory location.

3.7 Container Guide Adjustment

The Container Guide can be used to quickly and consistently position containers on the

platform. The horizontal [side-to-side] location of an applied label

on a container is determined by the horizontal position of the label

stock in the Applicator Arm and the position of the Container Guide.

At the "Guide Position" [gPo]setting, the platform will fully extend

so you can access the Container Guide Thumb Screw on the

underside of the platform. Loosen the Thumb Screw and move the

guide to the appropriate position so that the container is in position

to receive the label at the desired location. Retighten the Thumb

Screw.

Caution: Stand clear of the front of the unit to avoid being hit by the

platform as it extends.

Note 1: The platform can also be fully extended outside of the Setup Mode by pressing "Recall/Reset"

and "-" simultaneously. Press the Mode button to

reset the platform.

Note 2: You may also remove the Container Guide if

your container is wider than the platform.

Note 3: You may also install an additional Container

Guide to hold containers more securely.

Note 4: The Primera Container Holding Kits can be

used to hold odd-shaped containers or any smaller

container in place. They are Primera part numbers

074398 and 074399.
