2. While in the memory mode, press the "Recall/Reset" button repeatedly
to move to the desired memory location (L1 - L9). (Press Recall/Reset
repeatedly to move back to L0 for single-label mode.) (Figure 4-1.)
3. The desired memory location (L1 - L9) will be displayed for 2 seconds,
followed by the current value set for that memory location for another
8 seconds. During this time, press the "+" or "-" button to adjust the
distance value to be set for this memory location. (Figure 4-2.)
Hold down a button to move more quickly through the values. Once a
value is selected, it will be displayed for 8 seconds and then stored in
memory. The screen will then revert to label counter mode. The
distances are displayed in inches. The unit accepts values between
0.01 and 9.99 inches [0.3 mm and 253.7 mm].
4. Press the foot switch to apply the labels. Both labels will be applied
without pressing the foot switch again. To set a value for another
memory location, repeat this procedure.
Note: The distance values are approximate. Adjusting the position of the container idler
roller will affect the actual distance between the labels on the container.
4C. 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 divide by
two.
3. Subtract the distance between the labels on the liner (the distance between the labels while
they are still attached to the roll) from the value received in step 2.
Example:
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 0.12 inches, the distance
value to enter would be 1.34 inches.

diameter of container x Pi = circumference
(circumference - width of front label - width of back label) / 2
3 x π = 9.42
(9.42 - 4 - 2.5) / 2 = 1.46 - 0.12 = 1.34
Note:
The value given by this formula is a good
starting point. Some adjustments may
be needed depending on the particular
container and the Container Idler Roller
position.
