Switch the power button to the on position (located in the back of the
machine). The control panel buttons will flash once as part of a check light
process. After this process, the 3 mil light will start blinking red.
The machine automatically defaults to the 3 mil setting taking about
60 seconds. When the machine is ready for laminating at the 3 mil setting
the flashing 3 mil LED will turn solid red.
To change pouch settings press the + and – buttons to scroll up or down the
control panel. The scale setting will be blue for cold and red for hot settings.
Place the document into the open pouch. Ensure the document is centered
against the sealed edge. Use the appropriate size pouch for the document.
Ensure the pouch enters the machine sealed edge first. Keep the pouch straight
and central within the slot, not on an angle. Use the entry markings as a guide.
This unit is equipped with a Pouch Tracking System that will detect and
alert the user if there is a mis-feed. If a jam is detected the machine will
automatically reverse the document 1-2 seconds to help clear the jam. The
reverse button will come on while auto-reverse is engaged. After this, if the
jam is not completely cleared press and hold the reverse button while pulling
on the pouch to completely remove the laminate from the machine. Once the
jam is cleared the unit will return to normal operation.
Upon exit, the laminated pouch may be hot and soft. For the best quality and
to prevent jamming remove the pouch immediately. Place the pouch on to
a flat surface to cool. Take care when handling a hot pouch. Always remove
laminated document before starting next laminate. For best performance/
results, use the Exit Tray.
Turning off the Machine – If the top power button is pushed, the machine
will go into cool-down mode. The heaters will turn off, but the rollers will still
run until the unit reaches the desired temperature to turn off completely. This
functionality reduces long term wear and tear to the unit.

Turning off the Machine – If the top power button is pushed, the machine will go into cool-down mode. The heaters will turn off, but the rollers will still run until the unit reaches
the desired temperature to turn off completely. This functionality reduces long term wear and tear to the unit. Unplug the machine at the wall. The outside of the machine can
be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or flammable materials to polish the machine. Cleaning sheets can be purchased for use with the machine. When the machine
is warm – run the sheets through the machine to clean any residue off the rollers. For optimum performance, it is recommended that cleaning sheets are used with the machine
regularly. (Cleaning sheet order code #5320603).
