Slow mode
Enter or leave Slow mode by pressing the slow mode button for 1 second. The selection is indicated
by the slow mode indication LED.
Entering slow mode will not change anything to the current movement of the rollers.
In slow mode the rollers can run at normal or at slow mode speed.
4.2.2.1
Normal speed
Press the forward button in slow mode to run at a normal speed determined by the speed control
setting (see normal mode).
To start at slow mode speed or to switch from normal (forward) to slow mode speed just press and
hold the footswitch (when slow mode is selected).
4.2.2.2
Slow mode speed
Press and hold the footswitch in slow mode to force the rollers to run forward at a low speed. The
speed can be adjusted when running in slow mode. The speed can adjusted down to zero, but
cannot be adjusted any higher than maximum allow in slow mode (0.9 mpm or 3 fpm). The position
of the speed pot will be about the same as in normal mode to produce the same speed.
Slow mode speed with the footswitch always runs in the forward direction.
WARNING:
KEEP CLEAR OF THE NIP WHEN RUNNING AT SLOW MODE SPEED.
When running at slow mode speed, the optical safety devices are ignored and an audible signal is
heard to indicate danger.
When the footswitch is released, the forward rotation is stopped.
Note:
To change from slow mode speed to normal speed without stopping, press and hold the forward
button, release the footswitch and then release the forward button.
Changing to normal speed will not deactivate slow mode.
Pressing the footswitch again will slow down rotation to slow mode speed again.

Placing film rolls
This section describes the loading of the machine with laminating or mounting films.
The films are loaded onto the shafts at the rear side of the machine.
Note:
Always work in the center of the machine.
Select films that are slightly wider than the print width of the image. This way the print can be
trimmed with a border, but waste is reduced.
