When properly used, the XM2500 is relatively maintenance-free. Listed below are
safeguards and tips that will produce better results.
Importance of a clean document:
For best results when laminating, it is highly recommended that the document be
cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately prior to lamination. Small dust or
lint particles may cause the laminate to “tent”, producing an appearance similar to
a small air bubble.
Cut blade replacement and cleaning:
The cut blade may accumulate adhesive over time. Cleaning the blade must be
done with great care to avoid personal injury. To remove the blade, remove
upper cut bar assembly and gently tap or wiggle a plastic end piece off. Carefully
slide the orange blade holder off cut bar. Replace or clean with light solvent such
as isopropyl alcohol. Carefully slide on new or cleaned blade holder and gently
tap the plastic end piece on and replace cut bar assembly.
Use after storage:
For applications where the appearance of your document is critical, it is highly rec-
ommended that the XM2500 be used and stored in a clean, dust-free environ-
ment. Airborne dust particles and lint will tend to adhere to the bare adhesive
inside the supply roll. If the machine has not been used for several days or was
subject to a dusty environment, it is recommended that four inches (10cm) of
material be advanced and discarded before inserting your document. It is also rec-
ommended that the feed tray is cleaned with a lint-free cloth.
Cleaning adhesive from the nip rollers:
The nip rollers are designed to be self-cleaning under normal use. If adhesive
does accumulate, it can normally be removed by first removing the supply films
from between the nip rollers and advancing a scrap piece of regular bond paper
through the machine. The bare adhesive will tend to attach to the paper. If this
method of cleaning does not work, the nip rollers can be cleaned with a light sol-
vent such as isopropyl alcohol. Take care not to scratch, cut or chip the rollers. For
best results when laminating, it is critical that the lower idler bar be kept clean of
adhesive build-up.
