FEEDING IMAGES_____________________________________________________________________________
*
IMPORTANT
: Do not stop the motor or block the photo eyes while an image is being laminated as this can
cause marks in the output
USING THE PRINT GUIDE TABLE
Your laminator is equipped with a Print Guide Table to assist in feeding images into the nip. Feeding images
under the print guide, directly into the nip, prevents the images from lifting up and interrupting the photo eyes.
•
Feed images through correctly to ensure good results.
•
Make sure the leading edge of each image is flat all the way across or any wrinkles or creases in the image will
show when laminated – perhaps even magnified.
•
A straight leading edge will aid in feeding in the image.
•
Feed the image into the nip with the front edge parallel to the roller.
USING THE ROLL EASEL ATTACHMENT
The Roll Easel Attachment is used to encapsulate images digitally reproduced with a color plotter. The rolls of
images simply slip on and off of the roll easel, which lifts on and off the front of the laminator.
•
Mount the roll of prints on the attachment. The rolls of images should unwind with the images facing up and
should be centered on the attachment so that the laminate covers the images.
•
Leave some blank space at the beginning of the roll of images and in this space a V-shaped area should be cut
out to allow for an easier and cleaner start to the laminating process.
•
Once the prints are running through the laminator, set the brake tension for the roll easel to exert a significant
amount of tension so the prints feed through without wrinkles.
•
Set the speed control to 2-3 feet or 0.6–1.0 meters per minute. Use the footswitch until the images are tracking
correctly. Then press the motor ON button and go into auto-run mode. Don’t remove your foot from the
footswitch until you have pushed the motor ON button. Otherwise the laminator will stop affecting the quality of
your image’s finish.
