The most precise adjustment can be achieved by using the Apply Delay setting. This
allows for fine-tuning the amount of time from when the trigger is received until label
application begins. Once the trigger sensor is properly positioned and the appropriate
edge is detected, the delay apply setting causes the applicator to pause briefly before
beginning the label dispense process. If the label is applied too close to the leading edge
of the product, increase the delay value. If the label is applied too far from the leading
edge of the product, decrease the delay value. If the delay value is zero and proper
placement cannot be achieved, it may be necessary to adjust the position of the photocell
or other trigger device. To adjust the Apply Delay for the product detector, again open
the Apply Delay menu. The Apply Delay screen allows the operator to insert an
adjustable time delay into the selected product detector output signal. Upon accessing the
apply delay screen for the enabled photocell, the current set delay value is displayed. The
value is entered in milliseconds.
To adjust the value, press the up or down arrows until the desired value is displayed.
Once the new value is entered, be sure the applicator is online and allow several products
to pass. If the label is being applied too soon, increase the delay value or move the
photocell in the direction of product travel. If the label is being applied too late, decrease
the value or move the photocell against the direction of product travel. Repeat the above
adjustments until the label is applied in the proper position on the product. Once the
