￿￿￿￿￿This is the￿￿￿most￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿commonly performed process.

1.Adjust the machine settings as shown in process chart 3-6 and remove the infeed table. Be sure that, while heating the machine, the rolls are together and turning.

2.Install laminating film on the upper and lower unwinds.

3.Web up the upper laminate by wrapping it around the upper film idler and laying it over the upper main roll. Do not drape too much film. Too much can fold over and leave a line of glue on the roll, thereby affecting image quality.

CAUTION

Make sure that the adhesive side of the laminate is away from the roll to prevent an extensive clean up job.

4.Web up the lower film by wrapping it around the lower film idler and bringing it up to the upper main roll. Tack it to the upper laminating film.

5.Insert a leader board into the nip and lower the upper main roll. Press the footswitch. Once the leader board is through the nip release the foot- switch. Lower the roll 1/2 a turn past the initial contact of the upper laminating roll with the lower.

6.Press the footswitch until the leader board is through the pull rolls and lower the upper pull roll. Reinstall the infeed table.

7.Encapsulate the image.

It is very important that the F-36 PRO Laminator is shut down in proper manner. If not, the laminating rolls can be damaged or destroyed.

￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿ CAUTION

Failure to follow this procedure can result in

damage to the rolls.

1.Turn off the main power to the machine.

2.Raise the main laminating roll at least one inch.

3.Put the output roll into the upright position.

CAUTION

The laminating and output rolls must always be in the up position when the machine is not in use.
