Use the following instructions when heating one or
both of the laminating rolls. The procedure is the
same for the top and bottom heaters.
1. Set the heater switch to ON.
2. Adjust the temperature controller for the desired
operating temperature using the temperature
controller dial adjustment.
3. When heating the rolls, keep the top roll down
and turning at a moderate speed to prevent
uneven heating.
4. The temperature controllers have LED (light
emitting diode) readouts on the rotary dial to
indicate the status of the heating system. See
Figure 3-5 to learn about the readouts.

5. It will take approximately 15 minutes for the
laminating roll(s) to reach operating
temperature. When the preset operating
temperature has been reached, the machine is
ready to use.

The following procedure is the fastest way to cool
the machine. Natural cooling can also be used.
1. Set the heater switches to OFF.
2. Leave the cooling system ON.
3. Lower the upper main roll until the laminating
rolls are touching.
4. Set the Forward/Reverse switch to FWD.
5. Set the speed control to 2.
6. Let the machine run until the laminating rolls
return to room temperature.
⇒ Note
In the change over from hot to pressure-sensitive
materials, it is not necessary to return the laminator
to full cold. With the rolls slightly heated (115 ºF),
cold films do not exhibit the phenomenon of
silvering.

1. Always cut the leading edge of a print straight
so it can be fed perpendicular to the laminating
rolls.
2. Ink-Jet prints done on high gloss paper might
not bond or might experience bubbles (called
puddling). To solve this problem, raise the heat
setting of the laminator by approximately 20 ºF
and increase the motor speed by one third.
