What is a "power stacker" ?
The power stacker is used as an option for the TDI. It is replacing the magazine witch is OK
for lower quantities – using higher quantities or smaller label, special short label request the
power stacker.
Similar to the TDI – the power stacker is equipped with a stepper motor driven platform to
store the label on. As more label are printed as lower is the position of the platform.

Assembling the Power Stacker
The power stacker is disassembled in the box when you receive it . Before you can use it you
have to assemble the platform !
Move the platform – the plastic part in front has to show to the printer side – on the two axles
coming out of the cover of the power stacker. Move it against the front plate. The axles will
show around 1 mm out of the platform.
Then clip the lock washer to the two axles (as shown on the pictures). The power stacker is
now ready for use with the TDI.
Attention: Please check if the security cover is mounted to the guiding axle (see picture)
of the media guiding.

Mounting the option to the TDI
Attention: The power stacker can be mounted to the TDI mechanically from SN
01859xxxx.xxx on – but the TDI has to be equipped with the necessary wiring.
You can easily see if your TDI is equipped with the wires (there has to be a
diode connector on the rear side of the TDI).
Move the guiding axle into the guiding holes of the TDI (see picture) – as well move the front
plate part of the power stacker into the slot of the TDI ! Both units have to stay together
without any distance (see picture).
After you have mounted the power stacker to the TDI – the electrical connection has to be
done.
Attention: Never connect the power stacker to the TDI – if the TDI is powered on !
Always switch OFF POWER before you connect the power stacker – as
well wait after power off around 2 minutes before connecting.
If you do not – both units can be damaged !

Move the diode connector into the plug on the rear side of the TDI !
Attention: If your TDI is not equipped with a connector like that – the unit can be
retrofitted easily. Please call your service technician, this work can not be
done by yourself.

Assemble light cover
To protect the sensor (infra red) in the power stacker against normal light – a light cover is
delivered together with the power stacker.
If you recognise that light is influencing your power stacker, maybe the platform is moving up
and down without reason, you should mount the light cover ! We recommend to mount the
cover in every case.
Remove the film from the glue parts – remove the film from the complete cover and stick it to
the cover of the TDI (as shown on the picture)

Set up mode
The power stacker is working separately – only the power is used from the TDI.

Modes of operation - operation
Activating the sensor
Depending to the used label size (special the label length is important) the power stacker is
working in two different modes !
To understand that you should understand the principal – how the power stacker is working.
The unit is using reflex infra red sensor to check the height of the label stack – or if there is a
label !
Switching on the power stacker (via the TDI) with an empty platform and the platform is
down, the power stacker is moving up the platform until the first sensor is covered by the
platform -–the power stacker is ready for work. If now the second sensor is covered by
printed labels -the platform is moving down automatically.... the sensor is becoming free
again ... the next label is covering it ... and so on.
Depending to the label length a different stack mode is necessary. Short label need less
height to fall down properly then longer label. To compensate this different mode a second
pair of sensor is attached to the unit. The sensor pair can be selected with the attached
switch.
As a rule – label with less then 100 mm should use the upper sensor pair – longer label
should use the lower pair.
Attention: Switch in upper position means pair 1 – lower position pair 2 !

Adjusting the label width
To be sure that the stacker is working properly – the width of the expected label has to be
adjusted on the power stacker.
Attention: Never use the exact label width – adjust always 1 –2 mm more to the guiding.
The label should never be squeezed – but secure guided.
The media width is adjusted with a guiding witch is movable in both directions (see picture) it
can be moved on a axle to the different width of the label.
The moving parts of the guiding are used to adjust the guiding to the different sensor 8short
label – long label).
Adjusting the label length
As the label width – the label length has to be adjusted. The reason for is the speed of the
label after leaving the printer. The label is not falling down – it is moving with the same speed
the printer has used. So we have to stop the label in the right position to form a stack looking
properly.
Therefore the label stopper is used. Two different units are used with the poser stacker – one
for short label (not longer then the cover) one for longer label – sticks to the platform itself.
Both are delivered with the power stacker. Please take care that you do not squeeze the
label.

After the stack of label has reached the maximum – the platform is down in the lowest
position. This position is sensed via a micro switch (see picture) – the power stacker stops
and as well the printer is stopped witch a message on the display.
Removing a part of the stack (or the complete stack) the power stacker is moving up
automatically into the upper end position – the print job can be started again.

Attention: Start by accepting the message in the display again the print job.
