Section 4: Applying the Label

4A. Apply the Label
1. Power on the label applicator using the power switch. This can be done at any point with or
without the container in place.
2. Place the container on the rollers using the instructions in Section 3.
3. Press the foot switch to apply the label.
4. Remove the container. Depending on the mode setting the rollers will continue to spin the
container for a specified distance after each application. If you need to make an adjustment,
do so now.
5. Place the next container on the rollers and press the foot switch.
6. Continue this process until all containers are labeled.
4B. Apply Two Labels to the Same Container
The AP380 has the ability to apply two labels to the same container and you can adjust the
distance between the labels using the control panel. Nine different distances can be saved in
the unit's memory. These distances are represented by nine different memory locations: L1 -
L9. (L0 represents the single-label application mode.) By choosing the desired memory
location/distance you can easily switch between multiple double-label containers without
having to readjust label distances.
Follow this procedure to apply two labels to each container:
1. Press the "Mode" button once to display the current memory location.

Important Note: For label stock 6" and wider, it may be necessary to reduce the speed
of the label applicator. The AP380 includes a half-speed mode that generates more
torque from the motors for wider label stock. To activate this mode, hold down the
foot switch while switching on the unit. The AP380 will revert back to the default
mode when switched on without holding down the foot switch.
