Label Rewinders Intelligently control the changing tension as the label rewinds, ensuring a consistent, tightly wound roll that is ready for use on a label applicator. Saving time and reducing waste, our label rewinders roll and apply your finished labels without wrinkling or tearing.

External Label Unwinder This external device sits behind the label printer, modulating the rate at which the printer takes labels from a much larger label supply, eliminating the need to load your own large capacity of labels and ensuring proper label alignment.

LABEL PRINTING

Accessories QuickLabel and TrojanLabel offer a wide variety of label printing accessories designed to provide the tools you need to create a compact digital label printing centre in your office or factory setting.

29


The external control module interfaces with the QL-120 or Kiaro! family printers.

QuickDispense Label Dispenser This label dispenser neatly dispenses labels one at a time so it can be easily peeled off its liner and applied to a product. As users remove a label, the next label is automatically advanced and the waste liner is neatly rewound without wrinkling or tearing the labels.

External Control Module The External control module is used to synchronize label printing with your label application process. Providing the functionality necessary to fill the space between the applicator and external device, this module allows you to print a single label, multiple labels or an entire print job at once. Easily integrated with label applicators or other TTL signal interface equipment, our external control module eliminates the need for costly control system programming.
