Precautions During Use

Please read through all the following items before 
using the laminator.

Laminator Installation

When you are not printing cards, it is recommended 
that you turn off the power, and use a cover that is large 
enough to cover up the card printer and laminator units.
Avoid installing at the following locations as doing so may 
have adverse effects on this unit.

Carpeted room.

Places with a busy flow of people.

Places where paper (corrugated boards, etc.) is handled or 

stored.

Places near photocopiers.

Places exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating equipment 

(such as a stove).

Inclined or unstable surfaces.

Places exposed directly to cold air, such as near an air-

conditioner outlet, or places subject to high temperatures.

During installation, make sure that there is sufficient space 
around the laminator. (Allow a clearance of at least 20 
cm between the sides of the laminator and the wall. Allow 
a clearance of at least 10 cm between the rear of the 
laminator and the wall.)
Observe the following when installing or moving the 
laminator.

Make sure to turn off the power before moving the laminator.

Carry the laminator at the bottom of the two sides (handle) to 

prevent your hands or fingers from being caught under the unit.

The filter cover is detachable for replacing the fan filter. When 

you are moving the laminator, do not hold it at the filter cover.

Films

Handling procedures

Pay attention to the following points when handling films.

Do not touch the film surface with your hand. Doing so 
may result in poor adhesion.
Foreign objects attached to the surface of the film 
may result in poor adhesion. Load the film in a clean 
environment.
If the film is left unattended for a prolonged period of time 
with the laminator in the [Ready] state, the heat from the 
heater may cause the film to change color. When this unit 
is not in use, turn off the power, or switch it to the card 
printer’s “Power-saving mode”.
When replacing films with one that has been stored 
under a low temperature, store it at the operating ambient 
temperature of the laminator for at least one hour before 
using. Otherwise, condensation may occur, causing poor 
adhesion or malfunction.

Storage environment

Temperature: 5 °C to 25 °C
Relative humidity: 50 % and below

Storage location

Do not store in the following locations.

Places exposed to direct sunlight.
Places with a high temperature and humidity.
Places near organic solvents or diazo copiers.

Storage period

Use it as soon as possible after opening.
