WARNING
THE L-300 IS A HEAVY MACHINE. USE PROPER LIFTING
TECHNIQUES TO SET IT ON A WORK SURFACE.
NEVER LIFT OR MOVE THE L-300 BY ITS HEAD. ONLY
LIFT OR MOVE THE XL BY ITS BASE.
Each L-300 is assembled and tested by the manufacturer.
Once tested, the L-300 is disassembled and packed in two
boxes for shipping.
1. Before unpacking the contents of these boxes, inspect
each box for any sign of shipping damage.
NOTE
Shipping damage is the carrier’s responsibility and must
be reported to the same immediately.
2. Unpack the contents, noting how everything is packed.
Remove and save all packing materials (plastic, foam
and cardboard) until you have successfully operated your
L-300.
3. Inspect the contents for damaged or missing parts. The
smaller box contains the head. The larger box contains
the base, Operating Manual and the four accessories
illustrated below (which are packed and nested in foam):
(1) TAKE-UP SPOOL with CLIP (2) FEED WEDGE
(3) POWER CORD (4) PRESS ROLL
4. Report any damaged or missing parts to the carrier and
your RENA dealer. If you need additional assistance,
contact RENA Systems at 888-444-7362.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Organization of
this Operating
Manual
This manual starts with a description of your L-300, then
describes its set up, operation and maintenance. Finally,
information is offered to help you determine what can go
wrong and what to do about it. There are many helpful tips
along the way, and it is strongly suggested that you become
familiar with this entire manual prior to operating the L-
300.
1.2 FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when this
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions in this manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his/her own expense.
1.3 L-300
Description
The L-300 is an automatic labeling machine that applies
1-up pressure-sensitive labels to mail pieces. Unlabeled
mail pieces are stacked in the feed tray. Two paper guides
hold this stack in position as the mail pieces are fed through
the L-300. A feed wedge improves the feeding of certain
types of mail pieces.

TAND
A
LONE
L
ABELER
Operating Manual
2 03/2003
The stack is separated into single pieces by separators and
feed rolls which feed the mail pieces into the L-300. A
photosensor (electric eye) in the base sees each mail piece
and transmits information to the microprocessor which
controls the L-300.
When the photosensor sees a mail piece, the
microprocessor waits for the programmed delay, then
directs the label feed motor to advance the labels. A second
photosensor sees the end of the label and signals the
microprocessor to stop advancing labels.
As the label strip exits between the label door and the label
chute, the peel bar peels the label from the backing paper.
At this point, the mail piece contacts the label and the press
roll presses the label onto the mail piece. The labeled mail
piece exits the L-300, usually onto an material catch tray or
TB-356 conveyor.
1.4 Items Included
The following items are shipped separately in two boxes.
Take note of each as you unpack both boxes. (Refer to
Figure 1.1.)

3. POWER CONNECTION
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING THE L-300 INTO AN OUTLET,
CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION ABOUT VOLTAGES, FUSES AND
THE POWER CORD.
3.1 Safety
The L-300 can connect to any power distribution system,
including the European IT Power System. Because the
European IT Power System does not have a grounded
neutral leg, the L-300 uses protective fusing in both the
neutral and hot supply lines of power.
WARNING
A BLOWN FUSE IN THE NEUTRAL LEG COULD
MEAN INTERIOR PARTS OF THE L-300 REMAIN
AT A HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. ALWAYS UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD BEFORE SERVICING THE L-
300.
3.2 Line Voltage
The L-300 is rated for continuous operation using a variety
of supply voltages. Possible line voltages are 240V, 220V,
120V and 100V at 50 or 60 Hz. The manufacturer
configures the L-300 to operate with the voltage requested
by the customer.
CAUTION
VERIFY THE CORRECT VOLTAGE SETTING
BEFORE PLUGGING THE L-300 INTO AN OUTLET.
Read the current voltage setting through the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR WINDOW on the non-operator side of the L-
300. (Refer to Figure 3.1.) Use the following instructions
to change the voltage setting:

NOTE
The detachable POWER CORD may have to be
changed to match the particular power-source
output.
1. Unplug the POWER CORD.
2. Use a small screwdriver or similar tool to push up on
and release the FUSE DRAWER LOCKING TAB.
3. Pull the FUSE DRAWER out of the POWER ENTRY
CASING.
4. Pull the VOLTAGE SELECTOR out of the FUSE
DRAWER.
5. Rotate the VOLTAGE SELECTOR until the correct
voltage is on the same side as the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR WINDOW.
6. Place the VOLTAGE SELECTOR in the FUSE
DRAWER and verify the correct voltage selection.
7. Place the FUSE DRAWER in the POWER ENTRY
CASING.

3.3 Line Fuses
The FUSE DRAWER located on the non-operator side
contains two LINE FUSES. (Refer to Figure 3.1.) The
neutral and hot lines of power are fused. Both LINE FUSES
must be intact for the L-300 to operate properly.
CAUTION
VERIFY THAT THE LINE FUSE VALUE IS
CORRECT FOR THE VOLTAGE SETTING.
UNPLUG THE L-300 BEFORE STARTING THIS
PROCEDURE.
Use the following instructions to verify that the LINE
FUSES installed have the proper fuse value or to replace a
blown fuse:
1. Unplug the POWER CORD.
2. Use a small screwdriver or similar tool to push up on
and release the FUSE DRAWER LOCKING TAB.
3. Pull the FUSE DRAWER out of the POWER ENTRY
CASING. The LINE FUSES are inside.
4. Determine the proper fuse value as well as the condition
of the LINE FUSE. The fuse value is shown on the
metal tip of the LINE FUSE. The chart below lists the
selected voltage in the left column followed by the
proper fuse value in the right column.
Selected Voltage
Fuse Value
100V ............................ 2.0A (250V time delay)
120V ............................ 2.0A (250V time delay)
220V ............................ 1.0A (250V time delay)
240V (or 230V) ............ 1.0A (250V time delay)
5. Replace the LINE FUSE if necessary. Both LINE
FUSES must be intact for the L-300 to operate properly.
6. Install the FUSE DRAWER in the POWER ENTRY
CASING.

3.4 Power Cord
The L-300 comes with a three-wire POWER CORD. The
POWER CORD grounds the L-300 when connected to an
approved three-contact electrical outlet.
1. Plug the POWER CORD into the APPLIANCE INLET
on the non-operator side. (Refer to Figure 3.4.)
2. Plug the POWER CORD into a grounded outlet.

WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING THE L-300 INTO AN OUTLET,
CAREFULLY READ SECTION 3 ON POWER
CONNECTION.
1. Unscrew and save the four SHIPPING KNOBS
fastened underneath the BASE. (Refer to Figure 4.1.)
A colored tab is placed on each SHIPPING KNOB.
These knobs prevent FEED TRAY movement during
shipping. If you need to ship your L-300, lower the
FEED TRAY as far it allows, and screw in the
SHIPPING KNOBS.
NOTE
The L-300 will not operate until the SHIPPING
KNOBS are removed.

2. Attach the HEAD to the BASE by sliding the two lower
hooks on the rear of the HEAD into the two SLOTS on
the BASE. (Refer to Figures 4.1 & 4.2.) This will align
the male and female halves of the CONNECTOR. The
CONNECTOR electronically links the HEAD and the
BASE.
3. The two plastic guides on the bottom of the HEAD
allow the HEAD to slide from side to side on the
BASE.
4. Place the FEED WEDGE on the FEED TRAY. (Refer
to Figure 4.2.)

SPOOL in the hole above the gear in one HEAD side
frame. Slide the other end of the TAKE-UP SPOOL
into the slot in the opposite HEAD side frame.
6. Attach the CLIP to the TAKE-UP SPOOL.
7. Lift the PRESS ROLL LATCHES and place the PRESS
ROLL in the two slots under the PRESS ROLL
LATCHES. (Refer to Figure 4.3.)
