Heat
The “READY” indicator may extinguish if the
speed is set too fast for the material being lami-
nated. Either lower the speed setting or press
STOP ( ) and wait until the “READY” indicator illumi-
nates.
Operation of the laminator for more than thirty minutes at
a time may necessitate a lower speed setting. It is recom-
mended that, during periods of long runs, the items being
laminated are alternated between thick and thin. Do not
combine thick and thin items at the same time, as this will
result in a poor edge seal around the thinner material. If
you are unsure that the laminator is set at the proper speed
for the item to be laminated, run a test piece (scrap) of
the same or similar material through the laminator. This
procedure is recommended because rotating the heat
roller prior to lamination will more evenly distribute the
heat. Make speed adjustments if necessary.
Output

– Check paper tension.
– Paper may be damp or not dry.
2. “D” waves in the laminate (Figure 45 B).
– Check main roller pressure.
– Check pull roller pressure.
3. Straight waves in output (Figure 46 A).
– Check operational settings for materials being used.
– Check clutch tension.
4. Indent waves in output after pull rollers
(Figure 46B).
– Insufficient cooling time.
– Output was handled prior to cooling.
– Use cooling feature if not on.
– Machine was stopped on print.
5. Angled waves in the output
(Figure 47 A & B).
