head, the upper drive assembly actuator switch
is releases to lower the upper drive assembly to
descend onto the box top, as shown in

application of the tape seals.

As the box is conveyed through the machine, the
centering guide switch is released causing the
centering guides to return to their full open
position, ready for insertion of the next box.

functions.  Depress the centering guide switch to
close the guides.  Release the switch to open the
guides.  Depress the upper drive assembly raising
