TARTUP AND OPERATION
Position the label sensor on the
dispensing edge
1. Loosen the thumb screw.
2. Push the sensor into place on the axis so that it can
detect the gaps between labels.
LED [31A] is lit when the sensor is standing over a
label.
Position the label sensor in the
printer
The printer is equipped with a combination transmis-
sion/reflex sensor.
By moving the red thumb wheel [32B], you can adjust
the sensor within a range of 80 mm (ALX 734/5) or 100
mm (ALX 736) perpendicular to the material. The dial
shows the currently set value [32A].
Reading the value:
Set value = punch position – 2 mm
...where:
•
Punch position:
Distance of punch from (inner) edge of material
[33A].
•
Set value:
Dial value to be set by turning the red wheel.
Example: Punch centre = 11 mm from left edge, sub-
tract 2 mm leaving 9 mm as the setting.
 To make the setting, adjust the [32B] wheel until the
required setting is centred on the thumb wheel.

Round labels: To ensure that the start of the label is
correctly detected here, it may be necessary to define
a preset value for the punch offset. This can be set
manually on the printer (parameter
PARAMETERS > X Print adjust) or using an appropriate
Easy-Plug command.
