TROUBLESHOOTING __________________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM:
•
The laminator has no display.
SOLUTION:
•
Check the power cord and the main power button.
•
Reset the Emergency stop buttons.
•
Unplug the laminator and check the circuit breakers inside
the left cabinet. Only authorized safety or maintenance
personnel should do this.
•
Make sure the left side cabinet door is closed and the door
interlock is on. The door interlock on the left door
automatically shuts the laminator off when the door is
opened.
PROBLEM:
•
The laminator motor will not run.
SOLUTION:
•
Make sure the Photo eyes are not blocked.
•
Check that the motor button is ON, or turn the motor speed
up.
•
Unplug the laminator and check the fuses on motor control
board.
PROBLEM:
•
The laminator is not heating up or shows erratic temperature
readings.
SOLUTION:
•
Make sure the heaters are ON -- the LED light is illuminated.
•
Make sure the rollers are together (with both shim wheel
settings set at 0) and turning at a moderate speed when first
heating up.
PROBLEM:
•
Images or Prints are rippling or jumping as they are fed into
the nip.
SOLUTION:
•
Apply tension to Images or Prints as they are fed into the nip.
Hold cut sheets back by hand.
PROBLEM:
•
The film output is rippled or wavy (boat-waking).
SOLUTION:
•
Check that you have webbed the laminator correctly. Refer to
the web diagrams.
•
Improper film tension - most encapsulating films need a
minimal amount of brake tension.
•
Run the laminator at a higher speed for photo materials or
heat-sensitive prints because exposure to heat at low speeds
can cause waving.
PROBLEM:
•
The film is cloudy or mottled.
SOLUTION:
•
Increase the roller temperature or decrease the motor speed.
•
Heavier mil films may require increased roller pressure due
to the thicker adhesive layer.
PROBLEM:
•
The display is flashing and the controls do not respond.
SOLUTION:
•
