    Introduction Switch off all affected devices (computer, printer, accessories) before connecting or disconnecting. • • In operation, moving parts are easily accessible. This applies especially for the zone, where the pad is moved between the starting and the labelling position. During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry away.

  • Page 17: Adjustments

    Adjustments Adjusting the Pad For the perfect application of labels it is necessary that the pad is placed precisely above the dispensed label. Aligning the pad parallel to the dispensing plate The edge of the pad should be positioned parallel to the dispensing plate of the printer in order to position the label exactly on the pad.
