4. Press the Foot Switch to apply the labels. Both labels will be applied
To set a value for another memory location, repeat this procedure.

C. Calculate distances for two-label mode.
If you intend to apply two labels to the same container you will typically want to center the
second label so that you have the same distance between each label on both sides. Use this
formula to calculate the proper distance setting (see Section 4B).
1. First Calculate the circumference of your container.
2. Now subtract the width of both front and back labels from the circumference and
3. Subtract the distance between the labels on the liner (the distance between the labels while
Example:
Note: The value given by this formula is a good starting point. Some
D. Count labels (AP362e Only)
By default the AP362e Label Applicator will begin to count labels. This
count will be displayed on the LCD. If you press any of the buttons on
the control panel the label count will momentarily disappear. It will
reappear ten seconds after the button is pressed. (Figure 4.3.)
Press and hold the Recall/Reset Button for five seconds to reset the
label counter to zero.
Note: The label counter will reset to zero if power is switched off.

If your bottle is 3 inches in diameter, your front label is 4 inches wide, your back label is
2.5 inches wide, and the distance between the labels on the liner is .12, the distance value
to enter would be 1.34 inches.
