TO REPEAT THREE TAPE LEnGTHS AUTOMATIcALLY
Make sure the memory is clear of any length previously
stored. To do this, press "A", the indicator turns off.
Remove any piece of tape that may have been dis-
pensed but not removed. Press "A" again. The indicator
lights (red) and the memory is cleared and ready for
your input.

SETTInG THE HEATER cOnTROLS
In most situations the application of heat is helpful for
reactivation. Different tape manufacturers use different
adhesive formulas. Some require more or less heat than
others.
You should experiment with different heat settings to
optimize adhesive performance for the tape you are
using and the conditions under which you are operat-
ing. carton sealing done in a cold meat packing plant
will certainly require a higher temperature setting than
carton sealing done in a tropical plant nursery.
As a general rule, the strength of the adhesive bond
will increase as the temperature setting of the heater is
increased up to some optimum point. Too much heat:
• May cause the tape to dry too quickly before the
glue has properly set.
• can cause the tape to curl and become difficult to
work with.
• In extreme cases, can cause delamination of the
tape, causing the tape to fail.

cHOOSInG THE cORREcT TAPE LEnGTH
In most situations, the correct length of tape is the total
length of the seam to be sealed plus a two to three
inch (5cm-8cm) overlap on each side.
• On extremely long cartons, such as those used on
furniture or mattresses, an overlap of four to five
inches (10cm-13cm) may be best.
• On very short cartons, those less than 16-20 inches,
only one or two inches (3cm-5cm) overlap may be
necessary.
APPLYInG TAPE TO THE cARTOn
The best way to apply tape to the carton is:
1. Place wet tape on the end of one of the flaps to be
sealed so that:
• Half of the tape's width is on one flap.
• The other half is overhanging.
2. Fold the flap without the tape down to its closed
position.
3. Fold the other carton flap (the one with the
overhanging tape) down to its proper closed
position so that the overhanging portion of the tape
is now in contact with the other flap on the opposite
side of the carton.
4. Starting from the middle of the carton, apply a
light downward pressure and wipe your hands
over the tape on top of the carton flaps. Move
from the center to the sides and then down over
the overlapping ends in the sides of the carton.
Sometimes wiping the tape down a second time
before releasing the carton is helpful.
This process will ensure:
• Full adhesion of the adhesive.
• A strong permanent bond.
• A neat professional appearance of sealed carton.
NOTE: It is not necessary to apply more than
one piece of tape to any one seam being
sealed. Reinforced water-activated tape
provides an extremely strong seal.
