Abstract
A labelling machine comprising a supply spool support () adapted to receive a supply spool (), a takeup spool support () adapted to form a takeup spool () of web () from which at least some labels () have been removed, a motor () arranged to turn the takeup spool, and a controller to control operation of the motor. A web path () is defined between the supply spool and the take-up spool, and the controller is arranged to control the motor to turn the take-up spool so as to cause controlled predetermined linear movement of a web along the web path and onto the take-up spool, furthermore comprising a sensor () operable to sense linear displacement of the web and/or displacement of the web in a direction other than the direction of the web, a printer () movable between a first position and a second position, and a separator surface () comprising a first portion inclined relative to the web path.
