Please keep the original packaging in case you need to return the unit. If we
receive the system in non-original packaging, the warranty may be void.
Note on Media Environment: 50% humidity and 72 degrees Fahrenheit is the optimal conditions for both storage and use of label stock. Store label stock in protective plastic wrappings. Rewrap partially used stock. Do not store stock directly on concrete floors. Label stock should be conditioned in this environment for 72 hours prior to use. Failure to store media in these conditions may result in media tension problems. Too much humidity will cause labels to curl on the edges.
HOW TO INSTALL THE CORE HOLDERS The green handle must match with the green
holder and the black handle with the black holder.

previous job has been removed.
Do not attach the matrix from a different size label to an existing roll. This
will cause an uneven wrap which will cause the material to walk.

its respective location.
3
Insert the rewinder core holder onto
its respective support.

!PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE PAPER PATH!
9
Position each cardboard core
directly under the new label.
Tighten the core by turning the knob and the guides in place.
Temporarily attach the label directly to the core holder. This will provide the necessary tension in order to start the slitting process.

Align the blades in the space
between each label column. (Label
edges can also be slit using the
same step).
WARNING! The slitter blades are very sharp when exposed. Use extreme caution when working in that area.
