PRINTER SETUP

LOOSE LOOP SETUP

The loose loop option allows labels to be printed and applied from one system by tying a thermal printer

into the web path of the applicator. As the labels exit the printer, they go around a dancer arm to maintain

web tension. Three proximity switches monitor the dancer arm position. The lower switch turns the

printer off while the upper two turn the printer on. If the upper switch is active, the applicator enters a

“Tight Loop” alarm condition. The applicator is taken offline

and will not apply labels until the dancer

arm returns to the lower position. This keeps the applicator from pulling label stock through a faulted

printer.

1. Select “APPLICATOR OPTIONS” key from the display.

2. Select “LS-LOOP” to enable the loose loop option. This option is password protected. The

password is 1800.

NOTE: 1) Due to the number of the different applications, the factory should be consulted on the

mechanical layout of the loose loop.

2) The loose loop option is not available when a powered rewind is used or when the print

output is used for alarms.

3) The loose loop option will turn off the crossover and imprinter options if they are on.

4) This is a factory installed option.

5) Starting with software version 2c.10.3, the applicator remains online but is inhibited.

IMPRINTER SETUP

The imprinter option allows a hot stamp printer to be installed into the web path of the applicator. It is

useful in instances where one line printing or date coding is required. The option is enabled and the dwell

time or stamp interval is setup in the imprinter submenu.

1. Select “APPLICATOR OPTIONS” key from the display.

2. Select “2) IMPRINT” to gain access to the imprinter submenu. This option is password

protected. The password is 1800.

3. Select “1) IMPRINTER IS ON” from the imprinter submenu.

4. Select “2) IMPRINTER DWELL TIME” and enter a time between 0.001 and 1 seconds. A valid

entry will return you back to the imprinter submenu.

5. Press “ENTER” to return to the main menu.

6. The print placement on the label may be adjusted by sliding the registration roller forward or

backward in the slot on the mounting bracket (see imprinter web path diagram).

NOTE: 1) The imprinter option is not available when a powered rewind is used or when the print

output is used for alarms.

2) This is a factory installed option.
