VI. Pressure Sensitive Laminating...

Note: You must have the Rewind Option for Pressure Sensitive Films in order to laminate with pressure sensitive material.

1.Load a roll of pressure sensitive film onto the upper mandrel so that it unwinds toward you from the bottom of the roll.

2.Load an empty film core on the take-up mandrel and place it in position in front of the upper mandrel.

3.Either place a roll of material on the lower mandrel that is at least as wide as the pressure sensitive film you are using and thread as usual or use an additional piece of media under the print you will be cold laminating. This will keep the adhesive from transfering to the RollerShoes™ or rollers.

4.Thread the pressure sensitive film behind the upper idler roller rod.

5.Peel back enough of the release liner to tape it to the empty film core on the take-up mandrel. Tape the liner to the back of the core and drape the film over both RollerShoes™.

6.Set the PRESSURE CONTROL to the appropriate position (CLOSE for laminating; MOUNT for mounting).

7.Set the FORWARD/REVERSE switch to the FORWARD position.

8.Turn the MOTOR CONTROL ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

9.Turn the MOTOR CONTROL knob far enough to sufficiently pull a feed card into the laminator.

10.Feed the feed card between the RollerShoes™ and into the front rollers.

11.After the laminator is properly threaded and the poster board has exited the rear of the laminator, make any necessary adjustments.

VII. Coating Mount Board...

The Finisher 4300 is capable of applying an adhesive coating to mount board that has not previous been coated.

1.Load a roll of adhesive, with the liner wound to the outside, onto the top mandrel in the same manner as with laminating film.

2.Load a roll of paper on the bottom mandrel or use adhesive the same width as the mount board to keep the adhesive from accumulating on the rollers and heat shoes.

3.Open the ROLLER RELEASE handle and select the MOUNT position on both sides of your laminator. Close the rollers.

4.Turn the HEATED ROLLERS and the TEMPERATURE CONTROL switches to the ON positions. The heated rollers are necessary only during warm-up and may be turned off for most applications when operat- ing temperature is reached.

5.Set the temperature to approximately 125°F. The Finisher 4000 will take approximately 10 minutes to reach operating temperature. The roller and shoe temperatures are indicated on the LCD displays on the control panel.

6.Feed the uncoated mount board into the laminator behind a small leader board. The leader board will prevent the compression of the leading edge of your mount board.

7.You may coat subsequent boards now, one directly behind the other, so that the board in front becomes the leader board. We recommend that you coat a sufficient supply of mount board in one session so you’ll have it ready for future use.
