Operating Instructions
Film Loading & Threading
The top and bottom rolls of laminating film must be of the
same width and be present simultaneously. A small amount
of adhesive will “squeeze out” during lamination. Hardened
adhesive deposits can damage the heat rollers. To avoid
any damage, select “Low-Prs LAMI.” for job mode ( ),
rotate the rollers at slowest speed with heat on. Refer
to the section entitled
CARING FOR THE FALCON 60
+ (-1) LAMINATOR
for instructions regarding removal of
the accumulated adhesive.
Adhesive will deposit on the rollers if:
- The rolls are misaligned.
- Only one roll is used.
- Different widths of rolls are loaded together.
- Either roll is loaded adhesive side against a heat
roller.
- One or both rolls of film are allowed to run completely
off its core.
The adhesive side of the film is on the inner side of the web
(Figure 20). The shiny side of clear film must contact the
heat rollers. The dull side of the film contains the adhesive.
Use extreme caution when loading delustered (matte) film
as both sides appear dull.
Always change the top and bottom supply rolls at the same
time. Near the end of each roll of GBC laminating film is
a label stating “Warning-End of Roll”. The appearance
of this label on either the top or bottom roll requires that
new rolls of film be installed as soon as the item presently
being laminated completely exits the rear of the laminator.
Do not introduce any additional items into the laminator
when the warning label is visible.

sive side is out.
