Stamp Placement Problems
CONDITION
SOLUTION
Stamps placement is inconsistent on the
media.
Stamp placement should be within +/- 1/8”
1. Check the pitch setting for the tab.
Pitch = Distance from the top of one tab to
the top of the next tab (including space
between tabs), plus 0.01”.
2. Check to be sure Pressure Roller Release
Latch, for tab drive, is engaged (lowered).
3. Check the media thickness adjustment.
Too little can cause the media to slip, when
it is being fed.
4. Check that the tabs are threaded properly.
See
the “Reel Brake Roller” arm?
When applied the Stamp is not aligned on
the media.
1. Reduce distance between Left and Right
Media Guide Assemblies using the Media
Guide Width Fine Adjustment knob (turn it
counter-clockwise).
2. Check the Media Thickness adjustment.
Too much pressure will cause the media to
flex as it is transported. Too little pressure
can cause the media to skew as the stamp is
being applied.
Stamps are separated by a distance,
instead of being applied together.
When programming for multiple stamps,
Together was selected instead of
Separate.
Reprogram the job and choose together.
More than three stamps applied one after
another on the media when 1, 2 or 3
stamps are selected.
Improper tab sensor (V-Tab) adjustment.
Check tab voltage and backing voltage
adjustments using the V-Tab function for
the appropriate head. (See
