Compressed Air
Compressed Air Connection
To supply compressed air:
1. Make sure the air filter setup is complete (see Chapter 3, Preliminary Setup).
2. Use the supplied pneumatic hose to connect to the plant air supply. The fitting on the
filter assembly uses a 3/8” industrial interchange connector.
3. Make sure the tamp air regulator is set to 30 psig. when the air pressure is on, the tamp
should move to the retract position.
Air Assist Adjustment
To adjust the air assist:
1. Open the air assist regulator half-way.
2. Loosen the screws in the air assist tube bracket slotted holes and reposition the air assist
tube so it does not stick out past the peeler bar by loosening the screws in the bracket
slotted holes and repositioning. The tamp pad must not contact the air assist tube when
it extends and retracts.
3. Check to see that the air hole in the air assist tube is pointing towards the front edge of
the tamp pad and is centered across the width of the label. The air assist tube is secured
by a socket head cap screw. Loosen the cap screw and re-adjust the air assist tube if
necessary (see Figure 4-1).
NOTE: The following adjustments require the print engine to be properly set up
to feed a label in order to proceed. Check the label stop position. The print engine
must fully feed a label so it is completely released from the backing sheet and onto
the tamp pad.
