The lamination sensor is used to detect the presence of the lamination material. The LED
on this sensor should always be OFF after the lamination roll has been loaded properly; it
would also indicate that the sensor is in good working condition.
(*NOTE* This sensor is should always be covered with a blue cap should you decide
NOT to use lamination on your media.)
Things to remember about this sensor:
• If the LED on this sensor is
ON
after the lamination roll has been loaded with both the
yellow and green LED’s on the control panel being on, it could indicate that lamination
roll has ran out and would needs to be changed.
• If the LED is still
ON
after loading the lamination roll with both the yellow and green
LED’s on the control panel being on, it would indicate that the sensor is out of sync and
needs to be re-calibrated.
Re-calibrating Lamination Sensor:
(**NOTE**This operation has to be done with the lamination roll in place)
1. Locate the small screw on the lamination sensor.
2. Turn the screw on the sensor either clockwise or counter clockwise until the LED on
the sensor turns off.
(If calibrated properly, the LED should stay OFF when the lamination roll is detected
and turn ON when lamination roll has run out.)

Problem:
If the media is not aligned properly after running a couple of jobs.
Cause:
This problem occurs for a couple of reasons. The primary reason would be that
the tension force on the on the rubber roller assembly, media core and the lamination core
(If using lamination) are all out of sync and needs adjusting. Another reason could be that
the media was wounded unevenly to begin with thus creating an uneven media roll.
Make sure the distance between top to top black-marks is set correctly.
Fix:
First check to see if you have a flat even media roll before you begin installation. An
uneven media roll will cause the job to misalign itself. If that checks out ok, then you will
need to adjust the tension force on the lamination module. To do this you must turn the
two black knobs located at the top the rubber roller assembly to adjust the tension force
until you receive satisfactory results. If needed, this may have to be done in conjunction
with adjusting the clutch tension on both the lamination core
(If using lamination)
and the
material core using the aluminum handles. Adjust the tension force at all three locations
accordingly until you get the perfect setting and the media is properly aligned.
