SINGLE SIDE LAMINATING
Before you start to heat up the machine, ensure that the roller option on the back of the machine is set to TOP HEAT.
To begin laminating, turn the machine on and select the desired temperature. The machine will begin heating. Set the
appropriate temperature and speed (see guide on the page 4). The laminator will take approx 10 minutes to warm up.
Once the set temperature is reached, you are ready to go.
It is always a good idea to run a test print through to check you have the correct settings. Press the RUN button and insert
a print into the nip of the rollers, ensuring that the print is wider than the film (to prevent the film sticking to the rollers).
As with most single side print jobs, you will have a border to guillotine off after lamination which is why the laminating
film is never as wide as the actual print.
Check the print when it comes out of the back of the laminator, if it is cloudy or rippled the temperature could be wrong,
see the troubleshooting section on page 9).
When laminating a single side, you may need to adjust the anti-curl bar (depending on the thickness of paper being
laminated).
Please note: There is a trip
safety switch which means
that the machine will not
work if the feed tray and
safety guard are not
correctly in place.
NOTE: SAFETY TRIP SWITCH
Ensure the roller pressure is in the ‘LOCK’
position when running the machine
Adjusting the anti-curl
The anti-curl can be set from 0-9. 0 removes the anti curl facility, 9 is the
maximum anti-curl you can apply, if you have very thin 130gsm media you will need to
apply more anti-curl.
Auto memory function
The Matrix Duo has an auto memory function, that means if you work on the same roll of film, the temperature
and speed will be set to the same settings as the last operator.
