• The device is designed to use on a cab printer of the HERMES Q and Hermes+ series. Any other use or use going beyond this shall be regarded as improper use. The manufacturer/supplier shall not be liable for damage resulting from unauthorized use;...
Introduction Before mounting the delivered components disconnect the printer from the power supply and close the shutoff • valve at the applicator. • Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage. Switch off all affected devices (computer, printer, accessories) before connecting or disconnecting. •...
To avoid contamination within the vacuum channels they are cleaned by air pressure pulses at the end of each application. • For operation in a system the I/O interface of the printer can be used. Technical Data HQ 3014 L/R- HQ 3014 L/R- HQ 3014 L/R- HQ 3014 L/R- HQ 3016 L/R-...

Mounting Mounting the applicator parts on the printer Fig. 3 Mounting Applicator - Printer Note! In case of order a complete / configured system will be mounted some parts. Several steps of mounting dropped. Particularly pad and product sensor. 1. Hang on the control assembly (8) with the female part of hinges (2) at the printer mounted hinges (3). 2.
Mounting Mounting the blow tube Fig. 4 Mounting the blow tube It is possible to rotate the blow tube to optimize the support with the support air for the take over procedure of the label from printer to applicator. 1. Loosen screw (1). 2.
Mounting Adjusting the Product Sensors The product sensor detects the labeling position of the pad in relation to the product. The adjusting of the product sensor is depending of operation mode - stamp on or blow on. The detecting distance of the sensor is 5 - 200 mm from the lower edge of the sensor.
Configuration The applicator can be operated in different ways. While the original process stays the same, the operation mode can be chosen from the printer setup. The most important setting is the selection between the operation modes "Stamp on" and "Blow on". Additionally the applicator has different application modes concerning the order of printing and applying within one labelling cycle.
Configuration Parameter Meaning Default Start delay 0 ms Delay (max. 2,5 s) between start signal and the start of an labelling cycle. Allows e.g. the use of product sensors at conveyors. All start signals coming in following the first start signal are ignored when 0 ms Lock time they arrive within the lock time (max.
Configuration Setting the Peel Position To optimize the transfer of the labels from the printer to the pad there are two different parameters available for adjusting the peel position. Attention! First adjust the parameter "Peel Position" in the printer configuration. Then adjust the additional peel-off offset in the software. It is very important to follow that procedure for a certain start after label loading and for the re-start after error treatment.
Configuration Test Mode without a Print Job Fig. 6 Display By alternating between buttons on the display it is possible to simulate the labeling process without an active printing job. Push button This causes the feed of an empty label. Simultaneously the vacuum of the pad as well as the supporting air are activated.
Configuration Application mode Labeling the front side, in direction of the transport Label will printed and takeover of the applicator. Pad is swinging in the labeling position (1 and 2). Product touched the pad and will detect over the product sensor. Figure - section 2 and 3 Vacuum will switched off and the label will apply (stamp on or blow on).
Operation Standard Operation Check all external connections. Load the material. Ensure that the locking system is locked "Operator's Manual" of the printer. Open the shutoff valve. Attention! Ensure that the pad is not covered by a label when switching on the printer-applicator system. Otherwise the vacuum sensor may be calibrated faultily.
Error Messages Error Messages of the Printer For detailed information about printer errors (e.g. 'Paper out', 'Ribbon out', etc.) Check the operator's manual of the printer. Error treatment: Clearing the error results. Press the to synchronize the label feed, remove the left over labels manually. To quit the error state press Repeat.

Error Messages Error treatment: Clear the error state. In order to clear the error state press continue, repeat or cancel. Continue with the next label in the printing queue. Repeat repeat the print of the label causing the error. Only applicable with error Vac.
