General conditions according to "ORGALIME S 2000". 1 Introduction This document describes how to install, use and maintain the ”Autolabel D43”, “Autolabel T43” and “Autolabel T63” machines. Most of the functions are the same or very similar between the different models. The difference between “D43”...
Press by hand to fit them together. No screws are needed. 3. The trig photosensor (4) in the picture shall just be electrically connected at this time. It will be fully installed later when the machine is fitted to the production line. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...

Trig Photo Sensor (standard). The Trig Photo Sensor is connected to the 3-way terminal block. 2.1.3 Connecting the Touch Screen www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
The settings are done by turning the label paper guides in relation to the label and rewinder rolls. The current setting is read according to the picture below, where the paper width is set to 80mm.

2.2 Test Print and Apply Follow these steps to print and apply a label: 1. Turn on the power and wait until the screen indicates ”OFFLINE”. 2. Press ”Products” on the touchscreen and select any product. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
This setting has effect on how long time that must pass from a weight arrives from the scale to the trigger signal is allowed to arrive. The setting is only active when ”trig type” is set to 0 or 1. Those trig types are used when the printer is connected tro a scale. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
”Apply delay”. See section 2..4.4.4. 2.4.5.2 ”Print contrast” Unit: us. Autolabel D43 uses thermal print technology. Different label materials have different sensitivities and the contrast can vary between different materials. Higher contrast means more darker printouts. Worth thinking about is that high contrast can result in poor readability of the printed barcodes.
This can be used to move the printout on the label, but should normally not be needed. 2.4.5.16 ”Render top position” This can be used to move the printout on the label, but should normally not be needed. 2.4.6 ”Settings->Network” www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
Normally only the IP address is used to access the printer from a web browser. 2.5 Installation at the Production Line Autolabel D43 can apply labels to any side of your product. This chapter describes how to adapt the print and apply system to the production line.
The Print and Apply system can be mounted in many different ways. The barcode placement should be considered when planning the system installation. The barcode quality is significantly better when the barcode is oriented so that barcode lines are along the printing direction. The pictures below shows some installation examples. Marking from above www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
A Trig Photo Sensor is normally used to detect the product to be marked and start the printout. We recommend using sensors with a separate reflector to achieve the best possible system function. Autolabel D43 is designed to be used with 24VDC PNP sensors. 3 Daily Operation This chapter describes the daily operation of the machine.
The machine will stop. Rewinder almost full Warning There is almost too much paper Green + Orange on the rewinder roll. Rewinder full Error There is too much paper on the rewinder roll. The machine will stop. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
Page 19
This will be cleared automatically after the next successful marking. Date changed (select Error The date has changed, and any new product) date calculations on the current label are no longer valid. The machine will stop. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
The roll has a lower friction when dirty, which affects the printout, print quality, and possibly the application. It can also increase the wear and tear of the print roll, leading to a shorter life span. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
The Print Roll is a replaceable part. It has a life of up to 600 km or 2 years in a clean environment. The Belt should be replaced at the same time as the Print Roll. To maximize the life time, perform regular cleaning of the print roll as described in point 4.2 above. Refer to this diagram during the operation: www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...

9. Move the Printhead Handle in the closed position. WARNING: The motor will start to turn automatically! Keep away from moving parts! 10. Check that the Belt moves smoothly during the adjustment cycle. 11. Push the front cover back onto the machine. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
For instance, after the static text you have written (it is possible to mix static and variable text). Choose "Insert variable". Then select "Name" - "Date" – "Manufacturing date" - "Production start date / time". You may now select which date-format you prefer. Select the desired format. If you www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
"automatic". 5.1.7 Other tips ● It is possible to mix static text with variable text. ● By using variable text-fields, the same layout may often be used by many articles. This may simplify the handling of articles. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
The unit is grams. The units may be written using the extra-fields. 5.2.7 Category-field The field "Category" has special meaning. This is used to categorize articles under "Products" tab. If, for example, "Artiklar med pris" (Articles with price) is filled in to the "Category" field, then a tab www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
The name will not appear on the printed label. 5.3 Counters Autolabel printers support auto-incrementing counters. They can be used in text and bar code fields. 5.3.1 Stand alone configuration It is possible to display the counter configuration using Setup->Data->Counter Configuration. Example: www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
Page 27
The image shows that counter 1 has a current value of 52. E.g. the next printed value will be 52. The Show advanced settings button displays the rest of the configuration columns. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
After power up the counter is treated as having printed all copies of the previous value, i.e. if the counter value is 1 and copy=3 but only two copies were printed with value 1, after power cycling, the printer will start printing the value 1. 6 File Managing www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
A new computer-box can then be updated to a replacement box for a specific printer by the saved files "settings.cfg", db.sqlite "and possibly a file with the suffix".py” from the specific printer. The new files are used by the printer after reboot. www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
The table below is based on a label gap of 2 mm. External factors such as trigger time can degrade the overall performance. 8 Spare parts For spare parts contact your local Autolabel dealer or contact Autolabel directly: Telephone: +46 31 743 47 22, email: info@autolabel.se Autolabel AB, Ebbe Lieberathsgatan 30, SE412 65 Göteborg, homepage: http://www.autolabel.se www.redemac.com 888-335-9570...
