RELOADING A NEW ROLL OF FILM
ON A HOT LAMINATOR
Allow the old film to run to a point just before it pulls off the cardboard cores.
Turn the drive switch to “OFF.”
Cut the film web with a blade so that
approximately 5” of film extends beyond
the idler bar. Photo 14-1.
CAUTION: When using a sharp object to
cut film (blade or shears), avoid contact
with heat shoes or rubber rollers.
Remove the old cardboard cores and replace with new rolls of film. Photo 14-2.
Loosen the tension on the top film roll.
Thread the new web of film around the
idler bar and tape it to the remaining
segment of the expended roll.
