Adjustments, Maintenance and Troubleshooting

If you purchased the Ti-1000Z or the Ti-1000Z RAP, please refer to the following sections for
adjustments, maintenance and troubleshooting information. If you purchased the T-1000-S14 NBO,
please refer to the T-1000-S14 Operation Guide for specific instructions.

Machine Adjustments

Periodically, the Ti-1000Z / Ti-1000Z RAP will require readjustment or realignment of components to
ensure proper operation. Adjustments may be required after transportation, excessive handling or due to
normal wear and tear.

CAUTION: Machine adjustments, electrical troubleshooting and component replacement should be
performed by qualified maintenance technicians, familiar with safety practices including but not
limited to equipment lock-out/tag-out, voltages and pneumatics. If you are not familiar with the
equipment or have not received training on the Ti-1000Z / Ti-1000Z RAP, you should consult with
APPI technical support before attempting adjustments or repairs.

Tracking and Alignment Adjustments

Tracking problems can cause the thermally printed information to be out of the proper location.
To avoid printing problems, machine adjustments to correct the tracking and alignment of the web of bags
may be required.

However, before considering adjustment, ensure there is sufficient tension on the film / bag web. When
feeding or stopping, the bag roll should not spin freely or feed excess film.

Compression (Nip) Roller Adjustment

The drive roll compression is the force that exists between the two feed rolls (rubber covered grooved roll
and grooved steel roll). Too much drive roll compression will cause extra wear on the drive roll and the
motor. Adjust the regulator pressure to adjust the nip roller tension. Pressure should be set as low as
possible to cause the film to pull the film through the print head evenly without wrinkling.

Idler Roller Guides

Two plastic web guides are located on the rear idler roller. These guides are used for

fine

adjustment of

tracking. Once the web is tracking /- 1/8" (3.175 cm) left to right, the plastic web guides can be
used to further assist tracking. Hold the upper roller in place while turning and sliding the plastic guides
close to the bags without touching the bags.
