Tamp Fault
Tamp fault is an error detection feature to catch when the tamp is obstructed and cannot
move. When a label-apply cycle is initiated, the controller monitors the tamp-home
sensor and waits for the sensor to indicate that the tamp has begun to extend. If the tamp
does not begin to extend within the specified time, the label-apply cycle terminates.
The tamp fault timeout value sets the amount of time the machine waits before testing
whether the tamp has left the home position.
The factory default value is 0. Range is 0 to 500 milliseconds adjustable in increments
of 25 milliseconds. Setting the value to 0 disables this feature.
LOP Settle Time
LOP settle time is an adjustable delay to allow the label to “settle” on the pad before its
presence is checked by the control system. Increasing the value allows the controller
more time to accurately determine if the label was transferred to the pad. If adequate
time is not allowed then false LOP errors may be generated.
The factory default value is 0. Range is 0 to 9999ms.
Product Delay
Sets amount of time the applicator waits to apply a label after the product sensor is
tripped. Product Delay is useful when a product detector cannot be positioned in the
correct location or when the label position must be changed without changing the
product detector position. The delay is equivalent to physically moving the sensor to
another location.
The factory default value is 0. Range is 0 to 9999ms.
Start-up Delay
Sets amount of time the applicator waits for the printer to power up to a state where
label printing can begin. During the Startup Delay, the controller ignores all printer
interface signals. Some printers can take up to 30 seconds to power-up.
The factory default value is 15. Range is 0 to 99 seconds.
