Check and identify all parts with the ones listed below. • Envelope Guide 90-102-05 • Stack Rest 90-102-10 • Media Support 90-102-13 • Thumbscrews 90-109-07 • Tray Assembly 90-104-03 • Power Cord 123-635 Figure 1 2. Mount envelope guide [Figure1A] to side guide block using 2 screws [Figure 1B]. 3. Mount media stack rest [Figure 1C] to the machine using thumbscrew {Figure 1D]. 4.
SETUP PROCEDURES BEFORE USING THE L-250/350, SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE MADE TO SET UP MEDIA THICKNESS AND SIZE MEDIA THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen thumbscrew [2E] on separator [Figure 2D] 2. Lift separator and put one envelope underneath. 3. Release separator and have it drop onto the envelope. 4. Tighten the thumbscrew and remove the envelope. 5. Repeat the above procedure for each separator used. MEDIA WIDTH ADJUSTMENT 1. Insert a stack of envelopes between the guides [Figure 2 A and C]. 2.
SETTING UP THE L-250/350 AS A LABELER 1. Remove top exit roller (media pressure roller) by pulling it out of the plastic spring-loaded brackets. Figure 3 2. Place a stack of fan-folded labels on the label tray with labels facing up. 3. Peel off labels from the first nine inches of the label stack. 4. Disengage the label advance rollers by turning LABEL PRESSURE knob [Figure 3A] to OFF position. 5. Thread labels into the L-250/350 following the LABEL THREADING DIAGRAM [Figure 5]. 6.
Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 5a Label/Stamp Tabs SETTING UP THE L-250/350 AS A TABBER FAN-FOLDED TABS 1. Remove the top exit roller from the plastic brackets. 2. Place a stack of fan-folded tabs on the tray with the tabs facing up. 3. Remove the first nine inches of tabs from the backing paper to form a leader. 4. Disengage the label advance rollers [Figure 4A] by turning LABEL PRESSURE knob [Figure 3A] to the OFF position. 5.
SETTING UP THE L-350 TO APPLY STAMPS ROLL OF STAMPS 1. Install the TR-10 Reel Assembly on the machine by hooking the rear bracket to the center tie bar of the head assembly. Pivot the reel assembly forward to seat the front bracket over the front tie bar of the head assembly. NOTE: In order to run the stamp at a position within 1/4” of the edge of the media, install the 90-103-02B Right Side Guide supplied with the machine. This guide will permit the positioning of the stamp at the top edge of the media.
. Thread the stamps into the L-350 following the LABEL THREADING DIAGRAM [Figure 5]. 10. Position the stamps by moving the entire stack to desired location. Lock the reel in place with the thumbscrew [Figure 7B]. 11. Tighten guides. 12. Pull the backing paper until the first stamp starts to peel off. Then set the label sensor adjustment. 13. Slide the folding guide spring, so that the media sensor [8A] is positioned to the left of the sensor guide [8B].
LABEL SENSOR ADJUSTMENT THE L-250/350 HAS BEEN FACTORY CALIBRATED TO DETECT THE PRESENCE AND ABSENCE OF LABELS UNDER MOST CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, WITH THE VARIATION OF BOTH LABEL AND BACKING PAPER DENSITY, IT MAY BECOME NECESSARY TO FINE-ADJUST THE SYSTEM. 1. Locate the LABEL SENSOR ADJUSTMENT knob [Figure 9A] and red light emitting diode [Figure 9B] on the non-operator side cover. Turn the switch fully COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to position 1. 2.

at the edge of the peeling mechanism. If the sensor does not see the label, any attempt to run the labeler will result in failure to feed the media. A flashing light indicates labeler is out of labels. 7. Depressing the LABEL switch [Figure 10E] will activate label-affixing circuitry in the labeler. The yellow indicator light should be on. Depressing the FEED switch [Figure 10F] will activate feeding mechanism and labeling process. 8.
USING AN OPTIONAL CONVEYOR WITH THE L-250/350 Warning: Before connecting a conveyor to the power outlet on the L-250/350, please be sure it meets the following electrical specifications: 115 VAC and a maximum current draw of 1 amp or less. 1. Slide out and remove the receiving tray. Position the conveyor against the labeler. 2. Plug the power cord from the conveyor into the conveyor receptacle on the rear of the L-250/350. Turn on the conveyor’s power switch.
11. With the tabs feeding straight through the clamp, move the two tracking guides [Figure 11A] into contact with the backing paper edge. Tighten the red thumbscrews. 12. Complete the tab routing through the sensor assembly, around the peel bar, through the pressure rollers, and into the take-up roller split shaft see Figure 8 in this manual. 13. Center the sensor on the tab supply. OPERATING HINTS 1. Fan out the envelopes before loading them into the tabber/labeler. 2.
