Operation
To begin laminating, plug in the machine and press the power button !. On the control panel &, then press start , which will cause the orange standby light D to go on.
Hot Lamination
Using the guidelines % printed on the top of the machine: |
|
| |||||
• | Set temperature by pressing |
| , which will cause the temperature light | to go on. | |||
| The digital temperature display A will show 110° C if this is the first use, but otherwise will | ||||||
| show the last temperature used. Press plus | or minus | until you see the temperature you | ||||
| want. Note: Because even standard paper may vary in weight and some inks are heat sensitive, | ||||||
| you may have to use a somewhat higher or lower temperature – roughly 5° more or less – to | ||||||
| get optimum results. |

|
• | Set speed by pressing |
| a second time, which will cause the speed light | to go on. | |||
| The digital speed display B will show “4” if this is the first use, but otherwise will show the last | ||||||
| speed used. Press plus | or minus | until you see the speed you want. |

Then press forward ▲ to start the rollers turning. Although the |
| ||||||
laminator will warm up without the rollers in motion, this ensures that the heat will be evenly distributed. As soon as the selected temperature has been reached, the green ready light C will go on. Allowing for a free margin of at least 3 mm (1/8 inch), on the unsealed edges, insert the sealed edge of the pouch or mounting board into the entry #, as shown at the right.
If you see the material is not going in straight and might get dam- aged, use the reverse mode: Press stop ■, then press and hold reverse ▼ until you have backed the material out of the entry completely. Realign and press forward ▲ to begin again.
Remove your material from the support tray after it has cleared the exit $. If you are finished with the job, but plan to use the laminator again soon, press start to put it into the standby mode. If you forget, it will switch itself into this mode after one hour of inactivity. Press start again to resume work, or press the power button ! to turn off the machine.
Cold Lamination
Using the same temperature and speed selection procedure as with hot lamination, lower the temperature until the digital display is blank. The cold mode light will go on at this point to confirm the change in mode. Then select a speed of 5 or 6, depending on the contents and pouch thickness.
Press forward ▲ to start the rollers turning. (If the laminator is hot, you can accelerate the cooling process by passing through the cleaning sheet included in the package and/or turning up the roller speed to 7, 8 or 9.) When the green ready light C goes on, turn the speed back to 5 or 6 if necessary, then:
