  • Page 11: Configuration On The Printer

    Configuration on the Printer The method of use of the applicator can be modified by altering the parameter settings. The most important setting is the choice between the mode "stamp" and "blow." Besides that the applicator has different sequences of printing and applying labels in a labeling cycle. The flag applicator will activate in the mode of operation Blow pursued around all necessary parameters and to be able to modify.

  • Page 13: Setting The Peel Position

    Configuration on the Printer Setting the Peel Position To optimize the transfer of the labels from the printer to the pad there are two different parameters available for adjusting the peel position. Attention!  First adjust the parameter "Peel Position" in the printer configuration.  Then adjust the additional peel-off offset in the software. It is very important to follow that procedure for a certain start after label loading and for the re-start after error treatment.
