ORCA-III Operation Manual

 GBC Pro-Tech 1997 October

+HDWLQJ

Use the following instructions when heating one or
both of the laminating rolls. The procedure is the
same for the top and bottom heaters.

1.

 

Set the heater switch to ON.

2.

 

Adjust the temperature controller for the desired
operating temperature using the temperature
controller push buttons.

3.

 

For the Syrlec type controller, use the up and
down arrows to adjust the set point. Hold down
the required arrow until the correct set point is
acheived.
For the CAL3200, it is necessary to press the
star button at the same time as the up or down
arrow to adjust the set point temperature.

4.

 

When heating the rolls, keep the top roll down
and turning at a moderate speed to prevent
uneven heating.

5.

 

It will take approximately 25 minutes for the
laminating roll(s) to reach operating temperature.
When the preset operating temperature has been
reached, the machine is ready to use.

6.

 

The ORCA-III can be used for cold mounting
and laminating while maintaining the temperature
of the main laminating rolls by using the output
rolls as a laminator (by feeding prints from the
rear) for a quick change-over between hot and
cold laminating.

&RROLQJ

The following is the fastest way to cool down the
machine.

1.

 

Set the heater switches to OFF.

2.

 

Position the two rear air tubes so that they are
tilted to direct air flow at the rolls.

3.

 

Set the Laminator Roll Control to the DOWN
position.

4.

 

Set the Forward/Reverse switch to the
FORWARD positon.

5.

 

Set the speed control to 5 fpm (150 cpm).

6.

 

Let the machine run until the laminating rolls
return to room temperature.

3DSHU 7LSV

1.

 

Always cut the leading edge of a print straight so
it can be fed perpendicular to the laminating roll.

2.

 

If you are laminating very thin papers, you
should consider utilizing the ORCA III's envelope
feed. This patented technique is the best choice
for the output from electrostatic printers that
have significant water content or for papers with
excessive stretch.
