AUTO-RUN OPERATION
• The continuous-run operation allows the user to set the
direction of the roller rotation and adjust the roller speed
by turning either of the Speed Control knobs on the
tops of the cabinets.
• This feature is useful for long runs that don’t require
much user control and, when used in combination with
the roll easel shaft and wind-up shafts, can be efficient in
an auto-run mode.
• Press the motor direction switch for the processing direc-
tion desired.
• Turn the Speed Control knob on either of the Motor
Control Panels to adjust the speed of the rollers (refer to
the Top Motor Control Panel page).
IMPORTANT! If the photoelectric eyes become blocked
during continuos-run operation, the roller rotation
will stop immediately.
IMPORTANT! Take care not to stop the motor or
block the photoelectric eyes while an image is being
laminated as this can cause marks in the output.
FOOT SWITCH OPERATION
• The function of the foot switch is to permit the rotation
of the rollers to be controlled in a hands-free manner.
• This feature can be used when webbing materials onto
the laminator or feeding delicate images and overrides
the photoelectric safety eyes.
• Pressing the foot switch runs the laminator in the direc-
tion that was pressed last (the Active Directional Switch
will be illuminated).
• The rollers will run at the speed last set which is indicat-
ed in the top display on either front or back control
panels.
• The speed can be adjusted when using the foot switch
by turning either Speed Control knob on the top of the
cabinets.
WARNING! While using the foot switch, interrupting
the photoelectric safety eyes does NOT stop the lamina-
tor. An audible beep will be heard, the Motor
Directional Switch will be blinking and the roller
speed will run in ‘slow mode’ at a speed of 2ft./min.
(0.6 m/min.). Releasing the foot switch will stop the
laminator.
• After clearing the photoelectric eye blockage the buzzer
will stop.
• To resume the pre-set speed, press the blinking direction-
al switch.
CHANGING FROM FOOT SWITCH OPERATION
TO AUTO-RUN MODE WITHOUT STOPPING
(to prevent stop marks on the substrate):
• During foot switch operation (keep the foot switch
pressed), then press Motor Direction switch desired on
either Motor Control panel. The laminator will run at
the pre-set speed.
• Next, release the foot switch.
IMPORTANT! Do not stop the motor or block the
photoelectric eyes while an image is being laminated
as this can cause marks in the output.
THE ROTATION OF THE ROLLERS WILL STOP
WHEN:
• The photoelectric eyes in the front or back of the rollers
are interrupted.
NOTE: This does NOT happen when the foot switch
is used.
• An Emergency Stop button is pressed.
• An emergency tap switch is pressed.
• The Stop button on the motor control panel is pressed.
