Load laminate
1 Open the laminator door by
pulling the top of the door
toward you.
2 Press the laminator cartridge
eject button and remove the
laminator cartridge carefully.
The material must be tight
when removing the cartridge.
3 Place the roll of
material and
empty take-up
spool side by side
on a clean
surface.
4 Remove the label from the
patch or topcoat material and
use it to secure the free end of
the material to the empty take-
up spool, making sure the
edges are even.
5 Load the new roll of material
on the cartridge:
a Put the full roll of material
on the supply spindle.
b Put the empty take-up
spool on the take-up
spindle.
c Align the material along
the four metal guides as
shown on the cartridge
label.
d Wind two or three
rotations of film onto the
take-up spool. Take up
slack between the spools
by turning the supply knob
clockwise. If slack cannot
be removed, check that
the supply and take-up
spools are firmly seated on
the spindles.
6 Replace the loaded laminator
cartridge in the laminator until
it clicks into position.
7 Close the laminator door.
Tips: Handling patch
or topcoat material
• After powering on the
laminator, the patch or
topcoat material must be
initialized. Press the
laminator’s RESET/
K and
then the ENTER keys to
initialize the material.
• The inside of the laminator
contains hot surfaces. Use
care when working in these
areas.
• Keep unused laminating
material in the original
package.
• Don't place material on a
dusty or dirty surface — dirt
can affect card quality.
• During the laminating
process, do not turn the
power switch off, open the
laminator door, or unplug the
laminator.
• See “Laminator material” on
page 68 for more information
about laminating material.
