  • Page 16: Adjustments

    Adjustments Vacuum Adjustments With an under pressure (vacuum) will be the label fixed on the pad. This vacuum must be so strong that the label is fixed on the pad and all suction holes of the pad are covered by the label. The vacuum doesn't be so strong that the correct transport of the label from printer to applicator will be risk. This is depend of the label material. The standard value ex factory is -0.6 bar Note! Over the adjustment of the vacuum it is possible that the form feed of the label to the pad could be manipulate.
