The vacuum drum assembly 102 may include air distributors for providing the vacuum pressure to the selected apertures to accommodate various lengths or widths of the labels 104. The vacuum drum assembly 102 may also be adjustable to vary the spacing between the apertures to accommodate various lengths of the labels 104. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
