The tamp pressure, flow controls, and cylinder cushions are factory pre-set. Use the following
instructions to check the tamp function and to make adjustments only if necessary.
To adjust the tamp:
1. Check/adjust the filter-regulator to be sure it is set to 30 PSIG (2 bar).
2. Set the main [POWER ON/OFF] switch to the ON position. Wait for the applicator and
print engine to fully power up.
3. Press the [JOG] button to cycle several labels through the applicator to observe the tamp
action. It should move quickly & smoothly without slamming to a sudden stop at either
end of its stroke.
4. If the tamp does not move quickly and smoothly, or if it slams to a stop at either end of
its stroke, locate the two flow controls on the tamp assembly.

5. Press the [JOG] button to dispense a label onto the tamp pad and trip the product
detector to cycle a label through the applicator. Adjust the air control valves until the
tamp extends and retracts quickly as the machine cycles, but does not slam to a stop at
either end.

NOTE: Do not go lower than the time values in the chart or the tamp assembly may
be damaged and the product life reduced.
