DISPLAY PANEL

LEADING EDGE APPLY: The leading edge apply option is used to merge a label onto two or three

panels of a product. An example might include the leading, top, and bottom panels of a CD case. The

applicator is initially setup so that the label is flagged out in front of the product but is still supported on

the liner. When the product reaches the peel edge, the flagged out portion of the label is applied to the

bottom edge of the product. The applicator then moves the “Short Feed Distance” at web speed to

dispense enough label material for the remaining panels of the product. The applicator then waits for the

“Product Clearance” time or distance to allow the product to pass by the peel edge before moving the next

label to the flagged out position at slew speed.

HOME:

The home key will take you back to the home screen from any other screen except ones requiring

numerical entry. Here it will indicate what type of applicator has been selected (air blow, merge, or tamp)

and whether it is in the right-hand or left-hand configuration.

JOG:

If the applicator is online, the jog key will allow you to dispense one label at a time as long as the product

detect input is not active. When using the display jog key, motion begins immediately and the applicator

will not wait for the label placement value or perform any of the special applicator options such as

profiling or multi-label. The jog key is particularly useful when adjustments are made to label length or

label stop values in the label setup procedure. If the jog key is pressed for three seconds, the applicator

will continuously apply labels. The jog function on the power switch simulates a product detect signal and

will perform exactly the same applicator steps that a valid product detect signal would initiate.

WEB SPEED:

The web speed key allows you to enter the web speed value. If the entered value is incorrect, an out-of-

range message is displayed and the web speed menu is re-displayed so that a different value may be

entered. Allowed values are between 100 and 1500 ”/min or 100 and 2100 ”/min depending on whether it

is a normal or high-speed applicator. The web speed value may be changed while the applicator is running.

ALARM RESET:

When a fault occurs (i.e. low label, tight loop, no labels found, web break, or offline critical) an alarm

message will appear on the display indicating the problem. If the applicator is equipped with a light stack,

the light will be on solid for warning alarms and flash for critical alarms. Both conditions will remain on

until the problem is corrected and “ALARM RESET” is pressed.

LABEL FORMATS:

The label formats key allows the operator to view, save, load, or delete up to 10 label setups. If a certain

size label is used over and over, the label parameters may be saved and reloaded for use at a later date. The

label formats menu is password protected to prevent inadvertent loss of data. The password is 1800.
