SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALL WATER RESERVOIR
Before using the dispenser: Wash the moistening brush with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.

Insert the brush in the water reservoir. (See Figure 1)
Switch power on.
While holding down the green Random Length button, take the reservoir in your left hand and insert the pivot shaft into the slots on the sides of the dispenser. Move shaft up to the top of the slots. (See Figure 2)
Slide reservoir down so bottom fits over tab on dispenser.
Release the green button.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Insert the battery by sliding it in it’s location on the water bottle side.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Connect the battery charger into an electric supply and insert the battery until it locks into position.
The LED placed on the feeder indicates the battery charge status: red LED, battery under charge; green LED, battery charge completed.
After approximately 60 minutes it is possible to verify the charge status of the battery. As it does not have the `memory’ effect this battery can be re-charged at every charge stage.

REMOVING THE BATTERY

Press the button placed on the upper part of the battery fix plate and remove the battery by sliding it out of position.

FILL WATER BOTTLE

Remove the bottle from brackets and turn over so filler opening faces up. (See Figure 3) NOTE: If the bottle is not empty, cover the filler opening to prevent spills.
Fill the bottle with clean water. Cover the filler opening to prevent spilling, turn the bottle over and place the filler opening over desired water level peg in the water reservoir. (See Figure 4)

NOTE: Adjust reservoir level: To maintain the optimum moisture level for the type of tape you are using, place the water bottle filler opening over one of the three water level pegs in the water reservoir.

INSTALL WEIGHT

For lighter paper tapes (60/70 grade), remove the weight. For heavier paper tapes (70+ grade), remove and reposition the weight so the bent part fits over the front of the top heater. (See Figure 6)

NOTE: Paper jams often result from the weight not being removed.
Take the weight assembly and slide the notches over the pivot shaft on the water reservoir. (See Figure 7)

LOAD TAPE ROLL

Adjust roll guide plates to fit tape width. (See Figure 8)
Reposition the roller for gummed in or gummed out tapes.
Insert tape roll between guide plates and over roller so tape is positioned gummed side down. Feed the tape under the upper paper guide and white wheel so the tape end extends out the undercover plate and weight. (See Figures 8A and 8B)

OPERATION

Operate machine switched on, tape loaded, and water in the reservoir.

For pre-set lengths of tape press the numbered key that corresponds to the desired length.
Add 2″ to pre-set lengths. For example, to make a 10″ length of tape: First, push the +2 key (light comes on), then push the 8 key. The dispenser makes a 10″ length of tape. Push the +2 key again to turn off this feature.
For custom, tape lengths press and hold the green Random Length key until the desired length is dispensed.

PROGRAMMING TWO LENGTHS OF TAPE
You can program the dispenser to memorize one or two different tape lengths with the Short Length and Long Length keys.

Release both keys to set the short length.
Set Long Length (Second Length) While holding down the Long Length key, press the number key that corresponds to the longer length desired.
Release both keys to set the long length.
Use the Short Length key to dispense your shorter length and the Long Length key to dispense the longer length.

PROGRAMMING INTERMEDIATE LENGTHS OF TAPE
Use this procedure to dispense intermediate lengths of tape (example, 18″ or 22″ lengths)

Press the +2 key (indicator light is on). This adds 2″ to any pre-set number key you choose.
Follow Steps 1-6 in “Programming Two Lengths of Tape.”
