QuickLabel S-100 - Manual (Page 2)

Setup and Use
1. Place the Label Slitter so that it is perpendicular to the web of labels to be slit.
Refer to the Paper Path diagram on the Slitter.
2. Loosen the black Knob holding the red Blade Cover Shield. Rotate the black Knob
assembly approximately one-half turn so it is facing down and out of the way.
3. Raise the Blade Cover Shield to the vertical position.
WARNING!
Use caution and common sense to avoid personal injury or damage to
clothing when working with cutting blades or around exposed blade
surfaces.
4. See WARNING NOTICE above. Rotate the Blade Holder shaft
slightly to lift the Blade Holders from the round white Nylon Fixed Paper Guide.
5. Being careful to avoid contact with the cutting blades feed the label web under the
Rotating Paper Guide and over the Fixed Paper Guide.
6. Adjust the position of the Rings on the Rotating and Fixed Paper Guides to the
width of your label web. Only finger tighten the Screws. If you have the PC-1
Preset Counter, the labels must pass through the sensor slot.
7. Pull the label web through and affix it to the label rewind core on the Label
Rewinder.
8. Being careful to avoid contact with the cutting Blades, adjust the position of the
Blade Holders as desired. To do this, loosen the white Nylon set screw of the Blade
Holders and slide the Blade Holders in or out as needed. Finger tighten the white
Nylon Set Screw to hold the adjustment. Do not over tighten.
9. Extend the cutting blades as required using the black click-stop adjustment on
the side of each knife.
THE BLADE TIP MUST EXTEND WELL PAST THE
ROUND WHITE NYLON ROD SO THE CUTTING BLADE ITSELF IS RESTING
ON THE WHITE NYLON. DO NOT USE THE VERY TIP OF THE BLADE.
10. Being careful to avoid contact with the cutting Blades, rotate the Blade Holders
down until the cutting blades rest lightly on the Fixed Paper Guide. The Blades
must pierce the label web to be slit.
11. Now lower the red Blade Shield to the Blade Holders.
12. Secure the red Blade Shield by rotating the small Black Knob assembly into the
slot on the red Blade Shield and tightening the small Black Knob until it is snug. The
Blades will press into the Nylon bar. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
NOTE: If the red Blade Shield does not press on all Blade Holders equally, loosen
the mounting nuts for the Blade Shield Hinge on the Chassis and reposition them
until the Blade Shield is “level” with the Blade Holders.
13. Start the Label Rewinder and the printer (if used). Adjust the speed of the Label
Rewinder as required. See the RW-2 or RW-P8 User Manual for details.
14. To make fine adjustments to the position of the blades over the web
as a set ,
use the large black Knob marked “LIFT BLADES TO ADJUST.” NOTE : ALWAYS
LIFT THE BLADES FROM THE LABEL WEB TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. USE
CAUTION TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE CUTTING BLADES.
Optional PC-1 Preset Counter
1. Verify the AC/DC Adaptor “VOLT CH.” Switch is set to “12” and plug it into the
Power Input Jack on the bottom of the Counter Display Module.
2. Plug the Control Cable (with 3.5mm plugs at each end) between the Output Jack
on the bottom of the Counter Display Module and the “EXTERNAL HALT
CONTROL” jack on the RW-2 or RW-P8 Label Rewinder.
3. The Counter is pre-programmed as a Preset Counter. Press “E” & “1” simulta-
neously. Press each of the 6 digits for the count desired. When finished, press “E”
to Enter the count. This is the number of labels you wish to pass through the photo
sensor before the Counter issues a “HALT” command to the RW-2 Label Rewinder.
[If the Counter does not perform correctly, reinitialize it by pressing the “E” and the
“6” Keys simultaneously during power-up. Press the “1” Key repeatedly until the
display reads, “Fn 0” then hold down only the “E” Key for 5 seconds to return the
Counter to the operation mode.]
See the Counter Manual itself for more options.
4. Start the Label Rewinder and observe proper Slitter operation.
5. When the preset number of labels is reached, the PC-1 Counter will issue a Halt
Command for the Label Rewinder to stop. Press “R” (“6” & “4” together) to reset the
count and restart the Rewinder. The Counter will continue to count until reset.
Maintenance
1. The S-100 & S-200 Label Slitters require no periodic or preventative maintenance.
2. When the slitting action becomes impaired because of dull cutting blades, the
blades can be clicked down to the next detent within their holders to expose an
unused area of the cutting blade. In this way, blade life is greatly extended.
NOTE: ALWAYS LIFT THE BLADES FROM THE LABEL WEB BEFORE MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS. USE CAUTION TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE CUTTING
BLADES.
If desired, the used up part of the blade can be snapped off at one of the
score lines on the blade.
3. When the cutting blades are worn out, replace them. QuickLabel Systems High
Speed Cutting Blades are recommended.
NOTE: ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING AROUND BLADES TO
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO CLOTHING.
