BASIC STEPS TO FEEDING IMAGES

NOTE: For good results, the process requires that the images be fed through correctly.

•Make sure the leading edge of each image is flat all the way across or any wrinkles or creases in the image will show when laminated – perhaps even magnified.

•A straight leading edge will aid in feeding in the image.

•Feed the image into the laminator ensuring that the leading edge is parallel to the roller.

NOTE: Do not stop the motor while an image is being finished as this can cause marks in the output.

USING THE PRINT GUIDE TABLE

•Your laminator may be equipped with a Front Print Guide Table to assist in feeding images into the nip. Feeding images under the print guide, directly into the nip, prevents the images from lifting up and interrupting the photoelectric eyes.

USING THE IMAGE GUIDE ON THE FLAT TABLE

•To aid with feeding in images, the rear table is provided with an “Image Guide”.

•This device can be positioned in front of the roller and it prevents the images from interrupting the photoelectric eyes.

•The Image Guide can be removed when mounting boards.

•To position the Image Guide, push it completely in towards the roller aligning the outer notches with the thumbscrews in the table.

•Tighten the thumbscrews down to secure the Image Guide in place. You are ready to feed images.

•To assist with this, the edge of the image can be seen through the windows in the “Image Guide”, which is in front of the rollers.

USING THE ROLL EASEL ATTACHMENT

The Roll Easel Attachment is used to encapsulate images digitally reproduced with a color plotter. The rolls of images simply slip on and off the roll easel, which lifts on and off the front of the laminator.

•Mount the roll of prints on the attachment. The rolls of images should unwind with the images facing up and should be centered on the attachment so that the lami- nate covers the images.

Ball Nose Spring Plunger End

Braking Notched Locking End

•Press the Ball Nose spring plunger shaft end into the matching receiver on the right side of the table.

•Align the Braking Notched shaft end with the notch of the receiver on the left side of the table and set in place.

•Make sure the auto-grip section of the shaft rotates, not the ends in the receivers.

•For the roll of images, leave some blank space at the beginning and in this space, cut out a V-shaped area to allow for an easier and cleaner start to the laminating process.

•Once the prints are running through the laminator, set the brake tension for the roll easel to exert a significant amount of tension so the prints feed through without wrinkles (refer to “Setting the Unwind Brake Tension” section).

•Set the speed control to 2-3 feet or (0.6–1.0) meters per minute. Use the footswitch until the images are tracking correctly. Then press the Forward Direction switch and go into auto-run mode. Don’t remove your foot from the foot switch until you have pushed the Forward Direction switch, otherwise, the laminator will stop, affecting the quality of your image’s finish.
