Threading:

1. Remove outer unwind disk (A) install new label roll and replace disk. 2. Route label web around idler roller (B). 3. Thread label web through label sensor (C). 4. Route label web around the bottom of roller (D). 5. Route label under drag block, then wrap label web around peel plate (E),

be sure not to thread the label web around the air assist tube. 6. Thread web around the bottom of roller (F) wrapping web around the

traction roller (G) Rotate locking cam (J) counterclockwise allowing pinch roller to swing upward. Then route label between pinch roller (H). Then lock pinch roller back into place rotating the locking cam(J) clockwise.

7. Remove rewind clip from (I) and route web from pinch roller (H) to rewind mandrel and reattach rewind clip.

MSI before continuing. 3 Place the labeler on a firm level surface. 4 Plug the labeler into a 110 VAC 15 AMP (GROUNDED) Outlet. Note: Extension

cords may result in improper labeler operation, and are not recommend by MSI.

5 Connect the labeler to a sufficient air supply. Note: air requirements are 60 PSIG clean dry air.

7 Turn power switch (located on top of machine) on. 8 Check label setup by depressing the foot switch to advance at least one label. If

labels do not register properly perform label set up procedure on page 2.4

9 Set the tamp stroke by placing product in correct position. Disconnect the air

supply. Loosen tamp collar and allow tamp to contact the product. Tighten the tamp collar and reconnect air supply.

General Pad Alignment

1. The horizontal gap (A) should range from 1/32-1/16, if not loosen the horizontal mounting bolts(E) and align to the acceptable range. 2. The vertical gap (B) should range from 0"-1/32", If not loosen the vertical

mount bolts(D) and align to the acceptable range. Bolts “F” can be loosened to fine adjust the pad to the right or left on the web width.

3. The air assist tube (C) is used to assist the label out onto the vacuum pad. This tube creates a venturi affect, which keeps the label from falling down or being sucked up onto the tamp pad too soon. As a rule of thumb the blast pattern from this tube should be directed at a 30°angle to the vacuum pad. This angle may vary due to several factors, therefore different blast angles may have to be experimented with.

Page 2.5

TTaammpp PPaadd AAddjjuussttmmeenntt

4. On the under side of the machine, there is a flow control which varies the amount of

air being applied to the label. If the label is falling off the air may not be blowing enough and if the label is flying of the pad it may be blowing too much. This adjustment should be made only if the label has been changed from the one setup at the factory.

Speed Flow Control Adjustment Screws

Adjusting Tamp Head Speed: 1. To adjust the speed the the tamp head you need a long stright screw

driver. 2. Turn the speed flow control screw clockwise makes the tamp travel

slower. 3. Turn the speed flow control screw counter clockwise makes the tamp

travel faster. 4. One side is for the tamp head extend, the other side is for the tamp head

return.

Maintenance Procedures

Page 3.1

3000T System General Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions:

A. Label rollers: The rollers should be cleaned and checked for wear every 500 hours of

operation. The rollers can be cleaned with a mild detergent or isopropyl alcohol. B. Label Sensor: The photoelectric label sensor should be inspected every 500 hours of

operation or if erratic label placement becomes a problem. Air blow off is recommended for cleaning fiber optic ends.

C. Pinch Roller: The pinch roller should be inspected for unwanted debris every time

the system is re-threaded. Isopropyl alcohol should be used to remove adhesive build up. NOTE: never use a knife or any other sharp object to remove labels or adhesive, damage to roller will occur.

D. Traction Roller: The traction roller be inspected for unwanted debris every time the

system is re-threaded. Isopropyl alcohol should be used to remove adhesive build up.
