9. Check the Air Assist
The air assist tube should be parallel to the tip of the peeler bar. The air
hole(s) should be centered (or evenly spaced) on the label across the feed
direction of the web, and pointing towards the front edge of the tamp pad.
Press the [FEED] button to advance a label. If the label is moving on the pad
after it has been completely dispensed, decrease the air assist pressure. If the
initial edge of the label is not pushed against the tamp pad, increase the air
assist flow control.
10. Check for Adhesive Strings
Open the print head and disengage the drive and nip rollers. Turn the rewind
mandrel by hand to dispense a label.
If the label follows the liner around the peeler bar and doesn’t dispense easily,
the label is being held to the liner by “adhesive strings”.
The air assist tube can sometimes be useful in getting labels with adhesive
strings to properly dispense. Try increasing the air assist flow control to help.
If the label still feeds onto the pad incorrectly, replace the label roll and try
again.
11. Check to see that the tamp pad is the proper distance from the product to transfer the
label.
Tamp pad should be about ¼ inch away from the product.
