Place the document into the open pouch. Ensure the document is centered against the sealed edge. Use the appropriate pouch size for the document.

Ensure the pouch enters the machine sealed edge first. Keep the pouch straight and central within the slot, not on an angle. Use the entry markings as a guide.

Upon exit, the laminated pouch may be hot and soft. To prevent jamming remove the pouch immediately. Place pouch on to a flat surface to cool. Take care when handling a hot pouch.

To release a pouch during lamination, activate the release lever located at the rear of the machine. Gently pull pouch out of machine.
