4. INITIAL THREADING OF THE ALM3220 (cont’d)
If the card and film to do exit the machine within 5 seconds
STOP!
Film could
be accumulating within the machine. If this is allowed to continue damage to
the machine will occur!
If the threading card and film do not emerge from the discharge
within 5
seconds
pull the threading back out of the nip and repeat the threading process
at step 6.
If the machine is not threaded properly damage will occur.
13. After the threading card and film combination emerge lower the
Lamination Handle.
14. Perform the remainder of this procedure with the machine warmed
up (READY light on). Before running paper in the machine in automatic
mode examine the lamination quality of the film.
15. It is very important to look at the film as it exits the discharge. It should be well laminated (clear) and
free of wrinkles. If wrinkles are observed adjust the tension knobs slightly on the film rolls. If the film is
curled that could be an indication that the tension of one of the film rolls is tighter than the other. Film
must exit the machine flat. If there is curl in manual mode (using the manual MOVE switch) there may
be curl during automatic mode which will produce errors and possible damage to the machine.
