Other unauthorzed work on or modfcatons to the devce can also endanger operatonal safety. Always have servce work done n a qualfed workshop, where the personnel have the techncal knowledge and tools requred to do the necessary work. There are varous warnng stckers on the devce. They draw your attenton to dangers. Warnng stckers must therefore not be removed, as then you and other people cannot be aware of dangers and may be njured Safety Markng 1 Danger of crushng to hand and fngers by the movng pad! 1 Fg. 1 Safety markng 1.5 Envronment Obsolete devces contan valuable recyclable materals that should be sent for recyclng. Send to sutable collecton ponts, separately from resdual waste. The modular constructon of the prnter enables t to be easly dsassembled nto ts component parts. Send the parts for recyclng.

6 6 2 Product Descrpton Functon The Applcator A1000 s an optonal devce to use wth cab prnters of the A+ or A seres for automatcally applyng the prnted label onto the product. The labels are transferred wth a pad, whch moves between the two postons, startng poston and labellng poston, by a compressed-ar drven pneumatc cylnder. In the startng poston, the label s pcked up from the prnter. A sensor at the cylnder sgnals when the pad s n the startng poston. The label s removed from the carrer rbbon drectly at the dspense edge of the prnter. It s sucked on the pad by a vacuum va drllngs at the bottom of the pad. For support, the label s also blown aganst the pad wth an ar current comng from a blow tube. The correct transfer of the label s controlled by a vacuum sensor. Next, the pad s moved down nto the labellng poston. Reachng the labellng poston s confrmed by another sensor (labellng poston sensor). In the labellng poston the label s transferred onto the product. Whle the pad s movng back nto the startng poston, the vacuum sensor checks whether the label has been removed from the pad. The label can be appled wth three dfferent methods : Stamp on The label s pressed drectly onto the product. Blow on The pad moves to a pre-adjusted poston approxmately 10mm away from the product. The label s blown onto the product by an ar stream. Roll on In the startng poston the label s forwarded untl touchng the roller of the roll on pad. At the labellng poston the roller s pressed onto the product. Then the label s appled and rolled on by the movement of the product. 2.2 Important Features The supportng ar and the vacuum as well as the speed of the cylnder are adjustable. That way the applcator can be adapted to dfferent label materals and szes. To avod contamnaton wthn the vacuum channels they are cleaned by ar pressure mpulse at the end of each applcaton. For operaton n a networked system the 15-pn or 25-pn applcator's PLC (programmable logc control) nterface wth potental free nputs and outputs can be used. 2.3 Techncal Data Label transfer method Stamp on Roll on Blow on Label wdth n mm Label heght n mm Cylnder stroke n mm 220 / 300 / 400 Pad stroke below prnter n mm 70 / 150 Compressed ar pressure 0,5 MPa (5 bar) Sound pressure level max. 79 db(a) Product surface flat Product heght varable - fxed - - Product fxed - lnear movement - Table 1 Techncal Data

A blank label s fed. The vacuum at the pad as well as the supportng ar (blow tube) are swtched on. After the label has been pcked up by the pad, the supportng ar s swtched off. Press the pre-dspense key (1). The pad s moved to the labellng poston. A sensor sgnals when the labellng poston s reached. The vacuum s swtched off and the label s placed onto the product. Then, the pad s moved back nto the startng poston. Notce! Please use that test mode to adjust the parameter "Peel poston" n the prnter confguraton. 6.5 Test Mode Usng the Pre-dspense Key wth Prnt Job That method allows to check labellng process wth the real prnt data usng the pre-dspense key (1). Send a prnt job. The test mode s executed n two half cycles : Press the pre-dspense key (1). Half cycle 1 A label s prnted. The vacuum at the pad as well as the supportng ar (blow tube) are swtched on. After the label has been pcked up by the pad, the supportng ar s swtched off. Press the pre-dspense-key (1) agan. Half cycle 2 The pad s moved to the labellng poston. A sensor sgnals when the labellng poston s reached. The vacuum s swtched off and the label s placed onto the product. Then, the pad s moved back nto the startng poston. If the label s manually removed from the pad after the frst half cycle, the half cycle 1 wll be repeated when the predspense key s pressed agan. Notce! Please use that test mode to adjust the peel-off offset n the software.
