2. Position the product detector so that it is even with (or slightly upstream from) the leading
edge of the product (or trailing edge if you set the product edge detection to trailing).
3. Set the conveyor to the production speed.
4. With a label waiting on the tamp pad, send a product down the conveyor and watch as it is
applied. If the label is applied too soon, either reposition the product detector, or readjust
the product delay setting. If the label is applied too late, reposition the detector. Continue to
make adjustments until the label is applied in the correct location.
Test Run
After you have completed the Product Detector Setup, load several products on a
conveyor. Check the position of the labels and make sure that they are consistently
positioned on each product. If not, make sure that the conveyor is consistently
transporting products past the applicator. Review the applicator setup procedures to
make sure that you have completed all the instructions correctly.
NOTE: Be sure to record your settings for future reference.
