y Hang document material in reel holder in a way to ensure unwinding that label in the printer
section is on the top. Put outer guide disk onto mandrel. The two guide plates keep the label
roll reliably in position on the unwind mandrel.
y Guide material around the dancer arm.
y Labels behind the dispensing edge should be removed. The material brush has to be
positioned in a way, that the material is kept tight. From time to time, it is recommended to
reverse the mounting of the brush while you are loading a new label roll.
y Adjust the pressure roller before the rewind, so that it is right in the middle of the material.
Close the pressure roll and turn the roll 2 or 3 times, so that the material is threaded. Check
that the material is guided straight.
y Check correct position of the label sensor.
