HOW TO INSTALL THE CORE HOLDER

5

The grey handle must match with the
grey holder, and the black handle with
the black holder.

IMPORTANT: screws must face
downward.

HOW TO LOAD & OPERATE THE LAMINATION MODULE

IMPORTANT:

If you don’t use the lamination roll
please cover the sensor with the blue
cap.

Core Holder No. 1: intended for laminate
use

1

2

Core Holder No. 2: intended for laminate
liner use

3

Core Holder No. 3: intended for printed
roll use

Load the printed roll and move it against
the roll guide. Tighten the core holder.

Load an empty cardboard core onto
the shaft intended for laminate liner
rewinding. Tighten the core holder.

Load the lamination roll and move it
along the supply shaft until it matches
with the web.

IMPORTANT: the lamination roll always
needs to be narrower than the web width.

Example: if the web width is 7”, then the lamination roll
needs to be less than 7” (let’s say ¼ inch on each end).

At this point you can tighten the core
holder.

When the LEDs on the control panel are
off, the device requires manual feeding.

Move the media through the rollers
and press the FORWARD button. The
media will be loaded through the rollers,
whereas if you push the BACKWARD
button, the rollers will roll the media
backwards.
