C. SoftLinx Operation
The print and apply interface has two steps available in SoftLinx. The user may re-orient
the rotational nest by selecting the “Move Applicator Nest” step.
The main function of the Print and Apply is accessed by the “Print and Apply Label”
step. This requires a Codesoft Label file and an Apply profile to be available. Previous
sections of the manual note how to create both items required for functioning. Enter the
location of the file, the apply profile for the plate to be used, the rotational nest, the sides
in which the label will be applied, and whether or not a scanner validation is required.
During the execution of a SoftLinx protocol, the Print and Apply’s nest will be moved to
a “Side 2” orientation. It is imperative that the user teaches the plate crane point or other
plate mover positions related to the print and apply in a “Side 2” orientation.
A basic Print and Apply protocol is shown on the next page. This protocol is used to label
multiple plates located in a set of stacks moved by a Hudson PlateCrane.
