Loading laminate
The width of your laminate must be less than the width as your media roll.
Use these instructions to load and thread lined or un-lined laminate.
1.
With the machine STOPPED, attach a roll of laminate on the mandrel, centered on the media.
2.
Remove the safety cover from the first nip roller.
3.
Thread the laminate (blue line) until the laminate reaches the application point in front of the
nip rollers.
a.
If using self-wound/non-lined laminate, follow the path in the top image below
b.
If using lined laminate, follow the path in the bottom image below, releasing the
laminate backing and threading it to the laminate waste mandrel (brown line).
4.
Attach the laminate neatly and squarely to your media.
5.
Test run your machine as described on page 18 to verify that the laminate tracks correctly
through the machine. If necessary, adjust your laminate roll, waste mandrel roll, and laminate
guide collars until both your media and laminate track correctly.
Caution:
Never
attempt to attach laminate while the machine is operating. Always keep
the cutter idle until the laminate is past the Nip Rollers and you are well clear of the Nip
Roller area.
