Applicator Setup
Weber Packaging Solutions, Inc. 4-13
To perform a static stack test:
1. Place a product under the tamp.
2. Load the label information into the printer’s buffer.
3. Make sure that the main [POWER ON/OFF] switch is in the ON position.
4. Press the [FEED] button to dispense a label on the tamp pad, then trip the product
detector to apply the label to the product. Repeat several times.
If the labels are neatly stacked one on top of the other, you have correctly
setup the applicator.
If the variation isn’t within the required tolerances, follow the instructions
below to help you find and correct the problem.
5. Check the label position on the tamp pad.
Each label must be applied exactly from the same position on the pad. The inboard edge
of the label should be aligned with the inboard edge of the tamp pad, or, centered across
the hole pattern of the width of the label.
NOTE: If the tamp pad and label do not line up, perform the tamp pad/label
alignment procedure and then return to step 1.
6. Check the label stop position.
Check the stop position of the label on the peeler bar. When one label is
completely dispensed, the leading edge of the next label should be 1/16” or
back from the edge of the peeler bar.
Press the [FEED] button to dispense a label on the tamp pad, then trip the
product detector to apply the label to the product. Repeat several times.
If the labels are all placed within 1/16” of each other, the position is set
correctly.
If not, adjust the Offset printer variable (see the Print Engine Manual).
7. Check the surface of the tamp pad.
The surface of the tamp pad should be clean and free of any label adhesive. If the pad
requires cleaning, wipe the surface with alcohol.
8. Check the vacuum
Press the [FEED] button to dispense a label. Check to see if the label buckles
when it slides onto the pad. If it does, then the vacuum is too strong and it
will need to be reduced.
Press the [FEED] key to dispense a label. If the label falls off or slides forward
after leaving the peeler bar, then the vacuum isn’t strong enough and it will
need to be increased.
