SAFE TO TOUCH

AutoLam laminating

pouch and document and self-adjusts to optimal
laminating settings. The laminator defaults to
‘AutoLam’ setting if no other function is selected
within 5 seconds of switching it on.

Easy-Access open mechanism

The Easy-Access mechanism allows user to safely
and easily open the laminator for cleaning and

misfeeds and overloads.

CleanMe glue sensor

Checks if glue or dirt is on the mechanism and
guides the user to clean the laminator.

HeatGuard™ technology

Keeps the laminator surface up to 50% cooler and
makes it more energy efficient then comparable
laminators.

The Auto shut-down switches the machine off if
it hasn’t been used for 60mins to save energy.
To return to the “Home” Menu at any stage,
press the “Left/back” key on the navigation

The Entry Guide can be manually adjusted
(especially for smaller documents) to ensure
the items are best supported when inserted and
helps avoid mis-feeds.

please call your service engineer or Fellowes
customer service.

TIPS

ultrasounds etc...).

• Always test laminate with a similar size and thickness
before final process.

• If required, trim excess material from around the item
after lamination and cooling.

MAINTENANCE - Easy-Access

The Voyager laminator can be manually opened via the LCD user interface. Please note that the power supply needs to be ON
and the laminator needs to be SWITCHED ON to open.

Select ‘Open’ in the
start-up menu using the
navigating buttons and
confirm the selection with
the ‘OK’ button.

The machine might
need to cool down if
it has already been
laminating, this can
take up to 30 minutes.

The “open” LCD screen
will show and a beep will
sound when the laminator
is ready to be opened.

Now move the lever
on each side of the
machine backwards to
open the top cover.

CleanMe SYSTEM CHECK

The CleanMe system check warns the user if glue or dirt has built up inside the laminator. Glue can build up inside every lamina­tor, especially when low-quality laminating pouches are used. We recommend using Fellowes brand pouches to reduce the
amount of cleaning required and to get the best laminating quality.
The LCD screen will show the CleanMe sequence to guide you through the steps of the Cleaning process.

1. Warning sequence above shows that laminator needs cleaning. Machine might need to cool down if it has been laminat­ing before. This can take up to 30 minutes.

2. Open the laminator as described in “Maintenance” on previous page.

3. To clean residue off laminator mechanism, please only use Fellowes Laminator wipes (item No # 57037). Do not use
sharp objects to clean laminator.

4. Please remember to re-secure the mechanism again before closing cover to ensure safe operation.
