Introduction
1.0 Introduction
1.1 The LA/4700 Label Applicators
The LA/4700 is a second generation, next label out, labeling system designed for modularity,
continuous labeling, self-diagnostics, and ease of use. Modularity of design provides the basis
for ease of installation, setup, and maintenance. The electronics system employs a hardware-
specific design, thus increasing reliability and throughput. The hardware was developed to
simplify construction, and increase longevity by using durable materials. This unit will perform
24/7 operation in harsh environments and operate trouble-free, given that the appropriate pre-
ventative maintenance is performed on regular service intervals.
