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
footswitch. 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 Falcon 36 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.
