Machine Startup:
1. Unpack TAL-3100R Label applicator from shipping container.
2. Place the TAL-3100R on a firm level surface.
3. Plug the TAL-3100R into an 110VAC 10 AMP Grounded outlet.
4. Connect the labeler to a sufficient air supply. Minimum 80 PSI clean dry air.
Note: The TAL-3100R typically operates around 30 PSI depending on the label.
Label Threading:
1. Remove outer unwind disc (48) install new roll of labels and replace disc.
2. Pull label web under the first roller, threw the photo eye (14). Continue pulling the
label web over the top of the next roller. Thread webbing between the peel edge and the rubber drive roller (30). Then back towards the supply roll, over the idler roller.
3. Pull web down and wrap under the drive roller (24), and up between the drive roller
(24) and pinch roller (17), then back down to the waist wind shaft (5). Note: The pinch roller (17) is spring loaded. Slight pressure will be needed to separate the pinch roller from the drive roller for threading.
4. Install waist wind clip (47) on waist wind shaft (5) placing the webbing between the
shaft and the clip.

Teaching the photo eye:
1. It is recommended that you teach the photo eye (14) with every new roll of labels used.
2. Remove one label from the webbing and place the webbing only in the photo eye.
3. Press and hold the “Normal” button on photo eye for 3 seconds. When the lights finish
flashing the photo eye is taught.

Label Setup:
The label advance potentiometer resides on top of the TAL-3100R electrical housing. The purpose is to adjust the stopping position of the label with respect to the peel plate. With the label advance pot turned all the way counterclockwise the photo eye will stop the applicator instantly when it senses a gap. By rotating the potentiometer toward the + the applicator will dispense more of the label, and by rotating the potentiometer toward the – the applicator will dispense less of the label.
1. To setup the label position, rotate the label advance pot to the – as far as it will rotate.
2. The goal is to have the applicator stop with a label gap right at the peel edge.
3. Activate the applicator and watch the dispensing label. If the label does not advance far
enough turn the label advance pot to the +, and repeat until one label is completely dispensed and the next label is stopped at the peel edge.

Product Carriage Setup
1. Keeping the product carriage table (34) level, raise or lower the product carriage by
loosening the ratchet handles (2). Position the carriage with a ½” gap between the rubber traction roller (30) and the top of the bottle when the head is in the raised position.
2. Position the product rollers (44) with the center of the bottle under the rubber traction
roller (30).
3. The product should be setting on the product rollers (44) so it will roll easily. If the label
tends to “walk” to one side of the bottle during application, the product rollers (44) may need to be repositioned. Some products may even require one of the product rollers (44) to be slightly skewed.

Optional Accessories
All Purpose Carriage:
The All Purpose Carriage provides greater flexability and adjustablilty that the standard bottle carriage. It is expessially useful for larger bottles or containers that have lips or ridges that can affect how the bottle rotates in the carriage. The All Purpose Carriage also allows some tapered products to be run on the TAL-3100R.

2. Remove a label and place the liner only in the sensor.
3. Press both Adjust buttons at the same time to quicly set the sensor, or... a. Manually use Adjust Arrow buttons to light the “Gap Setup” light on the light bar.
4. Run labels through the sensor to verify that the three “Running” lights are active (on or
flashing) while labels are passing through the sensor. If not, use Adjust buttons until they are. More lights than the three “Running” lights may be active while running labels.
5. If sensor is not performing satisfactorily, adjust up and/or down a few clicks and see if

the second label. Use the 2nd label advance pot on the right to advance the label so it is completely dispensed and the applicator stops at the gap.
Setting Label Spacing:
4. Use the Label Spacing pot to adjust the spacing between the front and back
labels. Turning the pot to the + will increase the delay and your spacing between each label. Turning it to the – will decrease your delay and spacing.
