Conveyor on/off
After touching the settings icon, the settings screen will appear. The operating parameters
of the machine can be set here.
An incorrect setting may cause the device to malfunction.
The setting is recommended only to those who have read this user manual.
If the setting without entering a password is not enabled, this menu item can only be
accessed by entering a password.
The password is 2142
After touching the positions icon, the adjustments screen will appear.
Here you can set the desired number and location of the adhesive tape strips for each
adhesive tape applicator head separately. The device can control up to 8 taping heads. In
the settings menu you can set the nr. of the heads available. If no head enabled in the
settings menu, then this icon is invisible.
After touching the Save icon, the load/save screen will appear.
In this menu item, you can save and load the sticking parameters of the adhesive tape.
After touching the Language icon, you can choose the language in which you want to
program the device.
After touching the Help icon, you can view the help instruction for the currently active
screen.
By touching the Conveyor on/off icon you can start or stop the conveyor belt. It is the
same function as pressing the Start pushbutton on the controller unit.
By touching the Speed icons, you can select the speed of the conveyor belt. If you select
the slowest speed, the speed can be adjusted with the potentiometer of the frequency
converter in the box of the control unit. If you change the speed, the gluing positions will
also change. This speed level is recommended when setting up and testing the machine.
The Counter shows the number of sheets passed through the machine.
The Length shows the length of the last sheet passed through the machine. Even with
accurate settings, this may differ slightly from the actual page length because the
photosensor does not detect the front and end of the page exactly the same way.
This does not affect the accuracy of the tape application, because the machine measures
each position relative to the front of the sheet.
By touching the Reset button, you can set the counter value to zero.

Inverting the photosensor signal - If the photo sensor cannot distinguish the dark sheets
from the background, stick a strip of white insulating tape on the conveyor belt under the
photo sensor. By selecting the "invert photosensor" function, dark sheets can also be
processed.
If you use “dark on” photosensor or PNP photosensor with a pull down resistor then this
function can be useful.

Otherwise, this function should not be active, because it causes complete confusion of the
machine.
Disable stop at sheet end - In normal operation mode, if the sheet of paper runs out of the
machine, the adhesive tape application stops.
If there is a cut-out or a dark printed pattern on the sheet to be processed, the machine can
sense it as a sheet end and stops the taping process.
If this function is active, the machine continues taping even if it detects the end of the
sheet.
Conveyor reverse direction - This function is used to change the direction of the conveyor
belt. This may be necessary for machine maintenance.
Disable of taping on a stationary conveyor belt - If you select this function, then the
taping heads are inactive if the conveyor stops.
Disable button press sound - In normal operation mode, the machine beeps when you
touch any icon. This sound can be disabled, but it will only take effect after the next
reboot.
Show test functions on the home page - If you select this option, then the following
elements appearing on the start screen:
• Simulate photosensor button. If you press this button, it has the same effect as if the
photosensor detects a paper sheet.
• 1, 2…8 Lamps indicating the state of the taping heads.
• X0, X1, X2 lamps, indicating the inputs of the controller
Display standby time - In case of inactivity after elapsing this time the light of the display
turns off.

The speed can be selected by touching the speed buttons. (0-3)
The scale factor for the active speed can be modified.
If you enter the actual length of the paper in the Real length field, after pressing the "calculate scale
factor from real length" button, the machine will calculate and store the calculated value of the
scale factor.
The Measured length (ms) is the time during the sheet is under the photosensor.
The Measured length (mm) is the distance calculated from the time during the sheet is under the
photosensor and the scale factor.
The value of the scale factor is a distance in mm which the conveyor belt travels under 10 sec.

The Selected head appears in the field.
The speed can be selected by touching the speed buttons. (0-3)
The delays for the active speed can be modified.
The start delay is the time during which the sheet of paper arrives from the photo sensor under the
adhesive tape application head, minus the time that the adhesive tape application head needs to
actually start taping after the electric start signal.
The stop delay is the time during which the sheet of paper arrives from the photo sensor under the
adhesive tape application head, minus the time that the adhesive tape application head needs to
actually stop taping after the electric stop signal.
The end delay is the time during which the sheet of paper arrives from the photo sensor under the
adhesive tape application head, minus the time that the adhesive tape application head needs to
actually stop taping after the electric stop signal at sheet end.
The 3 delays are vers similar, but they are not necessarily the same
