Do not attach the matrix from a different size label to an existing roll. This will cause an uneven wrap which will cause the material to walk. Important Note: The MX-12e contains two motorized mandrels labeled inside the mandrel handle with “51”. These motorized mandrels are interchangeable between the weeder location and the take-up location. - Page 9 3. Locate the moveable roll guide and place it on the supply mandrel. 4. Tighten the roll and the guide in place by turning the tension knob. 5. Set the supply mandrel in the supply location. Match the gray handle to the gray holder.
- Page 10 Important Note: The supply mandrel can only be attached in one way. Match the gray handle to the gray holder and the black handle to the black holder. Also, the notches in the handle are angled so that it fits in only one direction. Insert the handle with the narrower side with the set screw hole down.

- Page 14 9. Attach the matrix to the empty core on the weeder mandrel. 10. Continue pulling the printed labels and manually turning the weeder mandrel so that the matrix is wrapped around the core at least once.

Page 15: Set Up The Slitter (Optional)
Three slitter blades housings are included with the unit. Six can be used in the slitting station at one time. Additional blade housing can be purchased from Primera. You will need to decide how you would like to slit your labels. For example, depending on what type of applicator will be used you may need to slit and remove edge waste. - Page 16 4. Determine how many blades you will need. Use this table as a guide. A maximum of 12 blade holders can be added to the slide bar. Using 12 blades, however, leaves little room for adjustment. Columns Blades Needed Remove Edge Waste Leave Edge Waste Typical Slitter Configuration for Three Columns.
- Page 17 Try to avoid tearing the liner as the blades are lowered for the first time into the liner. Tears will become problems as soon as you start the MX-12e. Using sharp blades will minimize tearing.
- Page 18 8. Turn on the MX-12e using the power switch on the back. Make sure the speed knob is in the slowest position before you switch on the MX-12e. 9. Slowly turn the speed knob. 10. Run the MX-12e until the slit labels reach the bottom of the take-up mandrel.

Page 19: Attach To The Take Up Mandrel
Section 3.4: Attach to the Take Up Mandrel Before you begin this section you’ll want to have cardboard cores that are no wider than the width of the liner of each label column after it has been slit. It is usually acceptable to use cores that are smaller than the liner width. - Page 20 4. Tighten the take-up mandrel to lock the cores in place. 5. Attach the labels to the core using waste label or tape. Note: Make sure the tension on all rolls is even. If they are not even and you have already attached them to the core you can easily equalize them by slightly loosening the tension knob on the mandrel.
- Page 21 6. Feed the edge waste over the edge waste roller. 7. Remove the waste label core from the lower take up mandrel. 8. Feed the edge trim waste over the new core and into a waste basket.

Page 22: Run Job And Evaluate
Section 3.5: Run Job and Evaluate 1. Switch on the MX-12e and slowly increase the speed. Evaluate the following areas: a. Matrix Release b. Matrix Mandrel Wrapping c. Slitting d. Finished Cores 2. If there are any problems with the matrix not releasing consistently and causing tears or if labels are getting pulled up with the matrix you can adjust the position of the weeder bar and the top and bottom weeder rollers. - Page 23 4. Finally, for some media / label sizes it may not be possible to run the MX-12e at top speed. If you find that higher speeds cause problems and lower speeds work, the solution may simply be that you need to run at a slower speed.
- Page 24 8. Separate the finished rolls. Some interleaving may occur. This is normal. 9. Finally, remove the waste matrix mandrel and discard the matrix and the core. We do not recommend reusing the same core with matrix from a previous job still attached. Note on Media Environment: 50% humidity and 72 degrees Fahrenheit (~ 22 °C) is the optimal conditions for both storage and use of label stock.

Page 27: Cleaning And Maintenance
Section 4.3: Cleaning and Maintenance Basic periodic cleaning and maintenance is required to keep the MX-12e running smoothly. Clean all rollers Various rollers are located throughout the machine. Adhesive from the edges of media can build up on these rollers. Over time this will cause feed resistance of the nip points which can cause the web to slip. -
