Position the machine an appropriate distance away from the product for proper labeling.
When retracting, the tamp must not touch any part of the product as it passes the machine.
The position of the machine must allow the operator to easily change labels and ribbon,
and reach the printer keypad.

Safety Guarding
If the Model 4300 printer-applicator is intended for integration into other machinery to be operated

Stop Function
A Stop feature is included for use with standalone applicators or with applicators incorporated with
the other machines that perform the product handling functions. For all applications, the Stop
function is as follows:

position. This is to provide the minimum hazard exposure in accordance with
the risk analysis for the operator or property.
The optional customer-provided Stop switch can be installed and mounted for
appropriate access by the operator.
