Explanation
Leaked adhesive on the label edge can cause the label to
stick to the carrier paper undesirably. The printed label con-
tinues to stick to the carrier paper, and can not be pushed
onto the dispensing tamp
A jet of air which presses the label against the bottom of the
stamp / Blow-Box during the feed, until it is held by the vacu-
um.
The Air Assist Tube directs the support air through one or
more holes to the bottom of the label. It is installed in the area
of the peel bar, and also adjustable.
Complete operational sequence of the labeller (e.g. label
printing (if applicable) and detachment (if applicable) label
transfer to the applicator, all the way up to the labelling of the
product).

"Bad Tag" refers to a faulty transponder of an RFID label.
This tag could neither be written or read (also refer to Tag).
Contact-free application mode, during which the dispensing
tamp takes over the printed label through vacuum, and
"blows" it onto the product without repositioning the dispens-
ing tamp.
During the label application, air is pressed towards the label
through holes in the tamp pad (for the Blow-Box via hose
nozzles), which enables a contact-free metering onto the
product.

tion can be adjusted in the display
