Security Label Applier

The Security Label Applier (SLA) is designed to apply an
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) label to a standard
Access scale label. The SLA works in conjunction with an
Access Prepack System and an Access Wrapping System
(AWS), Ultima Wrapping System (UWS), or Compact Label
Applier (CLA). As a label is printed and expelled from the
Access Printer, the SLA attaches a security label to the
adhesive side of the merchandising label. The AWS, UWS, or
CLA then places the label on the package. As the label’s
barcode is scanned, the security label is deactivated by the
security provider’s (Checkpoint or Sensormatic) equipment
and will not be detected by the store security system.

Security Label Applier

There are two types of security labels available. Depending

on your store security system, you will either use the
Checkpoint label (similar in size to the safe handling label)
or the Sensormatic label (similar to what is used with audio
CDs).

Note

*

For label ordering information, contact your security system
provider.

Power runs to the SLA through a standard 110 VAC
electrical connection. Flip the switch located inside the unit
to power up/down.

The SLA contains a label sensor to alert you when you are
out of labels or when labels are not advancing. When
applicable, the message Out of Security Labels displays on
the Access console. Although, you are out of security labels,
the Access merchandising labels continue to print. You may
also receive this message if the SLA is turned off, but you
are still operating the Access Prepack System.

Refer to the following procedures and diagrams to correctly
load labels. Be sure the SLA is powered off when loading
labels
