Getting started
SET-UP
• Plug the power supply output cable to the power jack on the rear panel of the PM-300. Plug the power supply into a
suitable AC power Mains Outlet. Place the power switch on the rear of the PM-300 to the ON position.
• The optional Counter (if included) is pre-programmed as a preset count-up Counter. To use the preset function, input
the desired number of labels with the push buttons on the Counter. If you do not use preset, set the value to zero.
• When the preset number of labels is reached, the PM-300 will stop. Pressing the RESET on the Counter will reset the
count to zero so the PM-300 can be started again. A duplicate reset switch is located on the left side of the unit.

IMPORTANT: CALIBRATION OF THE PHOTOCELL
The label detector photocell has been adjusted at the factory and requires no adjustment for a large variety of labels.
However, some specific labels (very transparent or relatively opaque backing paper) might require adjustment of the
photocell.
Load a roll of labels on the machine and position the backing paper in front of the photocell. Make sure that the labels
are tensioned when doing the calibration. The green LED should light on. If not, rotate the potentiometer till LED goes on
"green". Now put a label in front of the photocell, the LED should turn off.
