For front and back labelling the center line of the product on the conveyor is the datum.
For wraparound labelling the wraparound unit is the datum to work from set the dispensing edge and guide rails to this point
Set guide rails to this point.
3. Set the label on the container at the correct height using vertical adjustment on application head. Adjust the label head so that the dispensing edge is close to the container as it passes 0.25mm minimum gap. The container must not contact the web of the labels this can cause ripping and label application problems.

Label over hang (the mount of label showing over the edge of the dispensing edge)
Label application delay (the time from the product center to the label being applied)
Note the bottle should be guided but not held back by the guide rails
