ABC Office ULTIMA 65 - Manual (Page 2)

INSTALLATION
1. Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate
attention of the delivering carrier.
2. Place the GBC Ultima 65 on a stable flat surface capa­
ble of supporting at least 95 lb. (45 kg). The surface
should be at least 30 inches high to assure comfortable
positioning during operation. All four rubber support
feet should be positioned completely on the supporting
surface. The supporting surface may also be large
enough to hold the material to be laminated.
3. The laminator should be positioned to allow exiting film
to drop freely to the floor. Accumulation of laminate
immediately behind the laminator as it exits the equip­
ment may cause the film to wrap around the pull rollers,
resulting in a "jammed” condition.
4. Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or
cold. Avoid locating the laminator In the direct path of
forced heated or cooled air.
5. Connect the attachment plug provided with the laminator
to a suitably grounded outlet only. Avoid connecting
other equipment to the same branch circuit to which the
laminator is connected as this may result in nuisance
tripping of circuit breakers or fuses.

KNOW YOUR GBC ULTIMA 65 LAMINATOR
A. POWER SWITCH; Located at the back right of the
machine applies power to the laminator. The “POWER”
lamp will illuminate when position marked
"I” is pushed.
The off position marked "O” removes power from the
laminator (Figure 1).
B. CONTROL PANEL: Figure 2
POWER LAMP: Indicates that the laminator is plugged
in and the main power switch is In the “ON” (I) position.
WAIT LAMP: Illuminates when you first turn the lami­
nator on and when the temperature of the heat
rollers is insufficient for the selected film gauge setting.
O READY LAMP: Indicates when the laminator has suf­
ficient heat for the selected film
, IV STANDBY BUTTON: This button illuminates when the
laminator goes into the "STANDBY” mode, reducing
the temperature. When pressed, it enables the unit to
return to the predetermined film gauge setting.
1 MIL BUTTON: Selects the heat and speed settings
for this gauge film. The laminator automatically defaults
to this setting whenever the power switch is activated.
Ò
Ultima Film (1 Mil) can be identified by a red stripe In
the cardboard core.
1.5 3 MIL BUTTON: This button must be pressed to
set temperature and speed settings required for these
thicker gauge films.
FAST: When pressed this button Increases the speed of
the laminator overriding the preset condition.
SLOW: When pressed this button decreases the speed
of the laminator overriding the preset condition.
REVERSE: Reverses roller movement to clear jams
vD and wrap-ups.
^ RUN: Activates rollers for normal operation.
^) STOP: Stops the movement of the rollers.
C. SAFETY SHIELD: Figure 3. Prevents entanglement,
entrapment and inadvertent contact with the heat rollers.
The laminator will operate only when the Safety Shield
is located In the fully down position. Power to the
motor is removed when the shield is raised.
D. FEED TABLE: Figure 3. The Feed Table is used to
position items for lamination. The laminator will operate
only when the Feed Table and Feed Table Latch are
properly installed.
E. TABLE INTERLOCK LATCH: Figure 3. Used to lock
the Feed Table into position and activate an interlock
switch. The interlock latch is located on the left underside
of the Feed Table. The table cannot be removed without
retracting the latch to the right while lifting the table
upwards and away from the laminator. The laminator will
not operate when the table is removed and/or the
interlock latch is retracted.
F. FEED GUIDE: Figure 3. The Feed Guide permits
aligning the Item(s) to be laminated and is used to keep
longer Items straight. The Feed Guide may also be used
to feed smaller Items side by side by positioning the guide
towards the center of the Feed Table and placing smaller
items against each side of the Feed Guide as they are
being Introduced into the nip point of the heat rollers. To
position the adjustable guide, loosen the knob on the top
of the guide, slide it to the desired position and tighten the
knob to secure in place.
G. HEAT ROLLERS: Silicone rubber coated steel tubes.
Used to heat the laminating film and compress the heated
film to the items being laminated. Heat Is provided by an
internal infrared element. The heat rollers are motor driven
for ease of loading new film.
H. IDLER BAR: The Idler bars, located near each supply
roll are, used to direct the film to the heat rollers. The bot­
tom Idler Bar is movable to ease film loading.
I. PULL ROLLERS; The pull rollers, located at the back of
the laminator, are motor driven. They simultaneously pull
the film and Improve the quality of the laminated item.
J. REAR SLITTER: Used to cut the film web where it
exits the rear of the laminator (Figure 1).
K. CIRCUIT BREAKER: Electrical safety device, located
under the left side cover, can be reset the operator if ^
tripped (Figure 1).
