Hi everyone!
My brain is on the fritz today. Any ideas for this one? It's in a heading in a user manual for a shrink-wrap bundler (sleave wrapper) following a whole bunch of settings for the machine.
The only context I have is:
1.19 IMPOSTARE LE VELOCITA' MACCHINA
1.20 TEMPO DI SALDATURA
1.21 CONFIGURAZIONE METRINI
There are no sub-headings or other details.
TIA!

rulers?
Hi, growing up in italy I have always used that word as a diminutive meaning "little rulers" as in the ones you usually have in your bookbag. It is such a common word that it is plausible that it might have been used in a manual. Now i am just guessing, but maybe the machine has rulers that need allignment to fit the size of what is being shrinkwrapped. I hope this made sense...
