4.1.1 Starting the machine
Before each use, the control system must be adapted
to the inserted label material. During this, the label dis-
tance is detected and the photoelectric sensor at the
dispenser head is adapted to the transparency of the
labels and of the backing material. This process is
called material initialisation.
Automatic material initialisation
Initialising material at switch-on:
➔ Press and hold the FEED key [24] and switch on the
machine at the main switch [25A].
– The message AUTO appears on the operator panel.
– The machine slowly starts up and dispenses a label.
– The label distance is automatically measured.
– The photoelectric sensor is automatically adapted.
➔ Release the FEED key once a label gap has passed
the photoelectric sensor at the dispenser head.
If the initialisation was successful:
– "ON" appears on the operator panel.
– When the FEED key is pressed, a label is dis-
pensed.
If the initialisation was unsuccessful:
– The message FAIL appears on the operator panel.
➔ Switch off and automatically re-initialise the ma-
chine.
or:
➔ Manually initialise the material employing
qualified calibration technicians.
