If an adjustment is necessary, the counter nut has to be unscrewed and
the tube has to be turned into position and then arrest the nut again.

Following adjustment can only be arranged during a label feed and re-
quired a lot of experience.
DANGER OF BEING CRUSHED IN! Keep away from tamp.
4
Push the [ENTER]-button of the printer in order to feed a label.
Regulate in the meantime the air beam by the flow control valve at the
bottom side of the stainless steel cabinet (see p. 71).
- turning clockwise leads to a weakening.
- turning counter clockwise leads to an amplification of the air jet.

Repeat step 4 until the label is pushed safely against the tamp pad.
Search for an adjustment requiring only a little quantity of air pressure.
You will thus reduce the air pressure consumption and you will reduce
possible air rotations.
