the slitter knob has been turned to the on
position.
Slitting multiple encapsulated images
1. Adjust front image guides to allow for at least
1/4" overage beyond the edge of the image.
2. Run the image into the nip and through to the
slitters. Loosen the thumbscrews and adjust
the slitters so that the edge of the slitter
assembly lines up with the print. (approx 1/4"
away from blade).
3. Wind up the center portion of the cut out film
onto the release liner take up by tucking the
end of the cut film into the bottom side of the
take up along with the release liner.
Note: Be sure that the films are aligned top to bottom in order to prevent roller wrap. If
you should experience roller wrap, use the reverse button to unwrap the rollers.
