Cutter feed slot

Cutter

Corrective action

Unlatch the cassette, then gently wiggle the cassette out of its pocket. You can make this easier by cutting the laminate above the latch. Remove all laminate scraps. Cut the leading edge of the fresh laminate as square as you can with scissors, then reel it in as described in Section 2, Media Handling. Re-install and latch the cassette.

Important • Any time you unlatch a cassette, it’s a good idea to check that the laminate is even with the lips of the cassette before re-latching.

Problem

Card jammed in laminator. This can be caused by any of the following:

1.Dings or rough edges on the card (depending on vendor, card quality can vary, even from batch to batch).

2.Either of the cutters fails to cut, so the card is stopped dead by a “tail” of laminate, now firmly held by the laminate feed roller, which can not be rotated by tugging on the laminate.

Important • All rollers in the main drive train of the laminator (not the cassette outfeeds) are connected by toothed belts. If any of them fails to rotate, suspect loose set screws on the toothed pulleys

3.Heated rollers not rotating.

4.Infeed rollers not rotating

5.Outfeed rollers not rotating.

If necessary, turn the transfer roller toggle to separate the transfer rollers and relieve pres-

sure on the card.

Corrective action

Turn off the printer, then allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Unscrew the heater assembly fastener, ar- rowed, then partially withdraw the assembly together with the card. Pull the card out of the heater, inspect the rollers for laminate scraps and other foreign matter, then re-install the assembly. Do NOT use metal TOOLS to clean the rollers.

Even after allowing cooling time, the assembly will be HOT, so hold it only ny its outer cover.
