GENERAL SETUP PROCEDURES
LABEL FORMATS (cont.)
Load Format
This option will allow the operator to load the values of a previously stored format in to the
system as current values. Pick “2” at the label format menu and select the number of the format
you want to load. If you want to exit without loading any format, press “ENTER”. Continue to
press “ENTER” to exit to the label setup menu. Warning: Once you pick a format, it will
change the current parameters to what was in the format. There will be no warning!
Save Format
This option will allow the operator to save the current parameters to a format with a four-digit
name. Pick “3” at the label format menu and enter up to four digits for the format name. When
finished, press “ENTER”. If you do not want to save a format, press “ENTER” before you type in
a format name. By typing in the same number as an existing format, the variables saved in that
format will be over-written. Continue to press “ENTER” to exit to the label setup menu.
Delete Format
This option will allow the operator to delete a format from the list. Pick “4” at the label format
menu and select the number of the format you want to delete. If you want to exit this section
without deleting anything, then press “ENTER” before pressing any numbers. Continue to press
“ENTER” to exit to the label setup menu. Warning: Once a format number has been selected,
it will be deleted. There is no warning!
WEB SPEED
Web speed is the velocity of the label web in inches per minute. In a merge application the web speed
should be set at the velocity of the product. In tamp or blow box applications the web speed will vary
depending on the label size and product rate. Some labels will have to be run at a slower speed so that it
will properly feed out onto the label pad/grid.
1. Press the “WEB SPEED” key and enter a value between 100” and 1500” per min. for normal
speed applicators or between 100” and 2100” per min. for high-speed applicators. Press
“ENTER” to return the main menu. If the value is out-of-range, the display will show an out-of-
range message for 2 seconds then switch back to the web speed menu.
NOTE: This adjustment can be made while the machine is running.
SLEW SPEED
The slew speed value allows the applicator to speed-up the label dispense cycle in certain time critical
applications. The slew speed menu will automatically appear after the web speed menu when the missing
label and leading edge apply options are ON. The default value is set at 1200 “/min.
1. Enter a value between 100” and 1500” per min. for normal speed applicators or between 100” and
2100” per min. for high-speed applicators. Press “ENTER” to return the main menu. If the value
is out-of-range, the display will show an out-of-range message for 2 seconds then switch back to
the slew speed menu. Note: In order to improve performance, the slew speed setting must be
larger than the current web speed or encoder rate value.
