Material tear on the linear dancer lever
Under certain operating conditions it may happen that the label belt tears on the linear
dancer lever. These unfavourable conditions can be characterised as follows:
• High dispensing speed
• Low print speed
• Long labels
• One or more missing labels on the label belt
The following sequence will result in a material tear: As soon as the place with the la-
bel gap reaches the label sensor on the dispensing edge, feed starts until the start of
the next label. If the linear dancer lever reaches the lower final position before the start
of the next label has been detected, there is a high probability the belt will tear.
Remedy:
 Change one or more of the conditions above.
 Set missing label tolerance on the printer to "0"; see section Missing labels  auf
Seite 88.
This will cause the machine to stop with an error message if a missing label is discov-
ered.
