PRODUCT OPERATION
Before laminating important or unique documents, always test a pouch through the laminator
using a similar document.
Hot/Cold Lamination
1.
Place the machine on a flat, sturdy surface and press the power touch sensor to turn on
the machine.
2.
Press the setting control touch sensor to toggle between Cold Lamination and Hot
Lamination options ranging from 3-7 mil.
•
For hot lamination, the machine will take approximately 60 seconds to warm-up. Hot
lamination can begin when the desired film text is solid and has stopped flashing. The
machine will beep to notify you when it is ready for use.
NOTE:
Standard temperature setting is based on 20lb/80g/m2 copy paper thickness.
When laminating thicker materials, the temperature may not be high enough. In this
case, please select the 5 mil, 6 mil or 7 mil film setting depending on how thick the
intended paper is.
•
Cold lamination does not require any warm up. As soon as the unit is turned on, it is
ready for use.
NOTE:
If the machine was previously used in hot mode, allow approximately 25
minutes to cool down.
3.
Place the item to be laminated into the laminating pouch.
•
For Cold Lamination you need adhesive Cold Laminating or Self-Seal Pouches. To
laminate, place the item on the adhesive side of the cold film with the document face
down.
4.
Insert the pouch film into the front opening of the laminator. Make sure to place the sealed
end of the pouch film in first.
•
For Cold Lamination remove the paper liner from the cold film slowly while the
document is being inserted into the machine.
