The laminator will automatically default to the 1.5 & 3
MIL setting.

The laminator will set the speed and temperature for
the respective film and 20 lb. bond paper (copier paper).
INFORMATION: Decrease speed by pressing
SLOW if laminating heavier stock. Increase speed
by pressing FAST if you are laminating lighter stock.

increasing speed to high. If the adhesive is not
activating (becomes tacky), slow the speed down to
achieve quality lamination.

illuminate. Do not run any material through the laminator
until READY has illuminated.
5.
Position the item(s) on the feed table to be laminated.
