Assumingyouhaveavailablethe(standard)mountingsupport:
1. Findasuitablelocationonthehostmachineformountingthecodingunit.
2. Makesurethislocationdoesnotpreventpeopledoingtheirjobandthatthislocationisaccessiblefor
maintenance.
3. Mountthe
codingunitmountingsupportonthehostmachine.
4. Mountaplatenifnecessary(someproductsdonotneedaplatenbecausetheyarefirmenoughtomake
aprintonwithoutit).
5. Positionthecodingunitandtightenthecrosscoupling.Intheprintheadoutpositionthereshouldbe

5.3.2 Continuous packaging
Oncontinuouspackagingmachinesthesubstrateneverstopsandstartswhilepackaging.Theprinteris
