D. ADJUSTING THE LAMINATOR

If applying PolyGuard overlaminate, you may find that the individual polyester chips from the overlaminate roll may sometimes be slightly off-center when applied to a card. To center the vertical placement of these chips across the card width, a simple mechanical adjustment can be made. This adjustment is described below. To center the horizontal placement of these chips along the card length, refer to Section 6-D for instructions on using the printer driver’s Calibrate option.

Mechanism

1.If the PolyGuard chips are being applied too closely to, or overlapping, a card’s top or bottom edge (as the card travels through the printer), the laminator’s Card Guide Rail should be adjusted. To do this, simply loosen the two screws which fasten the Card Guide Rail to the printer’s main chassis.

2.If the PolyGuard chip is being placed more toward a card’s top edge (as shown), move the Card Guide Rail slightly toward the rear of the printer (opposite the direction you would like the chip to move).
