Figure 14: Manual Shutter Control Lever
The purpose of the shutter is to maintain the level of
humidity within the lacquer container by isolating it
from the air dryer system. By doing so, the correct
viscosity of the lacquer is maintained, which means
that the lacquer may be used for a longer period of
time.
CAUTION: Never feed images into the machine
when the shutter is closed. Always
open the shutter before feeding
images, or the shutter will prevent
the image from being fed into the
drying system and the machine may
become jammed.

Figure 15: Belt and Dryer Assemblies
BELT ASSEMBLY
The self-contained belt assembly provides movement
of the coated images over the air dryer system. The
speed at which the images move is controlled using
the speed switch on the front control panel.
AIR DRYER SYSTEM
The air dryer system is an array of nine fans (120 cfm
each) and three heaters (400-Watt each) that are
designed to dry the coated media by blowing warm air
across the belt as images are fed through the
laminator.

Figure 16: Drain Valve and Plug
The purpose of the drain plug is to ensure that no
lacquer leaks out of the lacquer container and to
prevent any air from seeping into the valve and drying
lacquer around the valve. After removing the drain
plug, the drain valve can be opened to return the
lacquer back to its original bottle.
NOTE: Whenever lacquer is in the lacquer
container the drain valve should be in the
closed position and the plug in place,
except when draining lacquer from the
lacquer container.
