Film Loading
m
CAUTION: The following procedure is performed while the
laminator is hot. Use extreme caution.
TIP: Film loading is easiest when machine is in a Ready State or
while warming up.
Step 1: Lift Safety Shield and lower feed table by pushing down on
table latches (Fig.10).
Step 2: If reloading film, cut the remaining top and bottom film webs
between the supply rolls and the idler bars (Fig. 10).
Step 3: Raise the four film levers on the FILM SADDLES and
remove the old rolls of film (Fig. 11).
Step 4: Install new film rolls (Fig. 12).
a. EZLoad Film – Insert the film directly into the film saddles,
making sure the film end plugs correspond with the saddles in
color and size.
b. Standard Film – First the film needs to be loaded on the film
shaft and then the shaft can be loaded into the film saddles.
See directions below for loading film on shaft.
Step 5: Close the four film holder levers on the saddles.
Step 6: Thread the film (Reference Fig. 12 and 15)
a. Unwind top and bottom film rolls allowing enough slack for
threading.
b. Drape Lower supply roll (Roll 1) over the top idler bar allowing
enough slack to close the feed table.
c. Drape the film from Upper roll (2) over the film from the lower
roll.
d. Ensure top and bottom film edges are aligned.
Step 7: Close the feed table and the Heat Shield. Turn the top roller
an extra 1/4 turn to create slack in the film off the top roller (Fig. 14).
Step 8: Using the film threading card included with the film, push the
film into the NIP of the Heat Rollers. Continue to push the threading
card while the Forward button is hit in step 9 (Fig. 14).
Step 9: Using the Slow Forward button, push and hold while
watching the film thread through the Heat & Pull rollers and observe
the film exiting the back of the laminator.
Loading Standard Film on Film Shaft
1. With the feed table in the open position, rest the roll of film on the
idler bar and edge of the feed table.
2. Remove the dark blue end cap off the Film Shaft by pulling it off.
3. Ensure O-ring is set to proper film with position.
4. Insert the Film Shaft through the core in the roll of film and
replace the dark blue end cap. Ensure the film is flush against
the O-ring and that the top and bottom rollers are aligned during
installation.
Note: When inserting the shaft, review the film loading diagram to
ensure loading the film in the proper direction for top and bottom
rolls.
Operation
1. Move the Main Power switch to the 'ON' ('I') position (figure 1).
2. Ensure the proper film is selected.
3. When the laminator reaches operating temperature, the green
ready indicator (✓) on the control panel will illuminate.
4. Position the item(s) to be laminated on the feed table.
5. Press the RUN button.
6. Slide the item(s) to be laminated into the Heat Rollers.
7. When the laminated item(s) exit the rear of the laminator, hit the
Stop Button.
8. Use the Rear Slitter located at the back of the laminator to
separate the laminated item(s) from the film web.
9. During use, watch the film exit to ensure film is not drawn back
into exit to prevent film wraps.
Note: Continuously feeding similar size media in the same location
will create a wear spot. Mixing up the feeding location will give heat
rollers longer life.
Clearing a Jam
Film jams may occur if the laminator is not positioned to allow exiting
film to drop freely to the floor. Accumulation of laminate as it exits
the laminator may cause film to wrap around the roller, causing a
jammed condition.
To clear a jam, it is necessary to rotate the rollers in a reverse
direction.
1. Immediately stop the laminator by hitting the Stop Button.
2. Open the Heat Shield and the Feed Table.
3. Cut the top and bottom film webs by the Idler bars.
4. Grasp the loose ends of the web and pull straight out while
pushing and holding the Slow Reverse Button.
5. When the film has cleared the Heat Rollers, stop the laminator by
letting go of the Slow Reverse Button.
6. Re-thread the film following the FILM LOADING instructions
earlier.
