A. ABOUT THE LAMINATOR
In addition to printing and applying the standard clear overlay panel included on
the various ribbon types, the printer also provides a built-in lamination system for
applying a more secure, tamper-resistant overlaminate. This built-in laminator is
controlled by both the printer itself and the printers software driver.
Upon initial power up of the printer, you will notice that the bottom line of the
LCD display will read Lam Adjust Temp. This indicates that the laminator is
heating up to its preset, or default laminating temperature of approximately 300° F

laminator is heated to the default temperature. Once the laminator reaches its
default temperature, the LCD display will change to Lam Ready. Note that the
LCD display will read Lam Adjust Temp whenever the laminator is heating up or
cooling down to the prescribed temperature.
If you wish to change the temperature of the laminator, you can adjust its
temperature through the Lamination controls within the printer driver setup
window (see Section 6-D). Once adjusted, the new temperature settings will be sent
down with the next print job along with the rest of the printer driver information.
Before printing begins, the laminator will automatically adjust itself to the new
temperature setting. This new temperature setting will remain programmed within
the printer until it is once again changed within the printer driver or until the
printer is turned OFF. Whenever the printer is turned OFF, the laminator will
automatically reset itself and return to its default temperature the next time the
