Resetting your Solo Labeller machine is typically required under the following circumstances:
- An error code appears on the display panel.
- The labeling alignment or label feed stops working correctly.
- The machine becomes unresponsive or experiences a software glitch.
- After clearing a mechanical blockage or replacing parts.
Follow these steps to reset your Solo Labeller machine safely and efficiently:
1. Turn Off the Machine
- Locate the main power switch on the machine and turn it off.
- Wait for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the system fully powers down and any residual charge is discharged.
- Check the machine’s critical components, such as the label rollers, applicators, and sensors, for any blockages or debris.
- Remove any loose labels, adhesive residue, or materials that could hinder the machine’s operation.
- Turn the main power switch back on and allow the machine to initialize. Solo Labeller machines are designed to perform a self-check during startup to identify potential issues.
- Locate the label sensor adjustment panel on your Solo Labeller machine.
- Follow the instructions in the user manual to recalibrate the sensor for detecting labels.
- Adjust sensitivity settings if necessary to ensure accurate label detection.
- Load a sample roll of labels and run a few test products through the system.
- Observe the labeling process to confirm that alignment and label application are functioning correctly.
- Make minor adjustments to the settings if needed.
- Document Error Codes: If an error code appears, write it down before resetting. This information can help identify recurring issues and assist Solo Labeller’s technical support team in troubleshooting.
- Regular Maintenance: Preventive maintenance, such as cleaning the applicators and sensors, can reduce the frequency of resets and improve overall machine performance.
- Keep Spare Parts Handy: Stock essential components like rollers and sensors to minimize downtime when replacements are needed.
