• While pressing “LOADING”, push another sheet

into the nip area under the sheet you just tacked to the film. (Figure 6).

• Continue holding down “LOADING” until the

first sheet enters the Burst Rollers while feeding additional sheets.

• Once the first sheet exits the Burst Rollers,

release “LOADING”.

• Verify that the “Threading Card” and images are

traveling over the Decurling Bar. (Figure 7). Monitor the amount of curl of the finished laminated images. Adjust the Decurling Bar Knob to increase or decrease the amount of curl desired.

• Press “START”

• When the green LED is illuminated, place

another image onto the Feed Belts and guide it into the Feed Gate. The Feed Gate will automatically activate according to sheet size and open, allowing the image to be entered into the nip.

• When the green LED is illuminated, place

another image onto the Feed Belts and guide it into the Feed Gate.

• Set the In-Line Perforator Wheel on the very

outer edge of the image but still making contact with the film. Make any adjustments needed to ensure the Perforator Wheel is penetrating the film, leaving small holes in the film. Verify that the gray wheel is off the image. (Figure 8&8A).

• Place the Prelaminating Film Perforator Wheel

on the edge of the Supply Roll of film. Verify that the Prelaminating Film Perforator Wheel is penetrating the film, leaving small holes in the film. Not necessary for all films. (Figure 9).

• Set the Skew Wheel as shown in figure 10. The

angle and position of the Skew Wheel will determine how much of a “tent” is present. For proper “snapping” or “separation” of the images, a small “tent” is needed as shown in figure 10.

• At this point, the Bursting Location can be

determined by referencing the decal shown in Figure 12.

• Watch the images as they pass through the Pull

Rollers and into the Burst Rollers. When

determining the location of the “Burst”, the overlap should be past the In-Line Perforator Wheel but before the Skew Wheel.

• Match up that location with the Decal in Figure

12. Observe the number value that represents the location you want start snapping. Ex. 620.

• Press “BURST”, (Figure 11) and then use the

Master Dial to dial in the desired value. Ex 610.

The numeric value on the Main LCD will change as you rotate the Master Dial.

• At this point, activate the Burst Rollers by

pressing BURST ON/OFF.

• Ensure that the sheets are being separated by the

Burst Rollers. If more speed is needed for bursting, press BURST SPEED. This will increase the Burst Rollers, which gives you better sheet separation.

SLITTING FILM

Slitting Film:

Rewinder Tube

In-Line Slitters

Tension Adjustment Knob

Figure 15

Figure 16

Figure 17

You always want to use film that is narrower than the sheets being laminated, so sometimes it may be necessary to slit the film. If the film is wider than the sheet being laminated, start the threading process with sheets wider than the film.

• Load the film on the machine and web it up per

the above procedure. Refer to the Loading Film

and Threading section. NOTE: Use non-printed sheets that are wider than the film.

• After the machine has been webbed up, set the

Side Slitter to a width that is narrower than the sheets to be laminated.

• Engage the Side Slitter by pushing down the

lever. (Figure 16).

• Set the Motor Speed to 1 and start feeding sheets

into the laminator.

• Grasp the piece of film that is to be separated

from the web and snap it right at the Heat Roller.

• Guide the slit film up to the Rewinder Tube and

secure it to the Tube with a piece of tape. (Figure 17).

• Adjust the rewind tension so that there is just

enough tension for the Rewinder Tube to rotate.

NOTE: Do not overly tension the Rewinder as this will make removal of the excess film from the tube difficult.

SPEED / TEMPERATURE CONTROL

This is only a general reference guide. Different settings may be suitable as the warm up time, lamination time and materials change.

Factors that may affect the speed and temperature parameters;

1. Image length

2. Image width.

3. Ink coverage

4. Paper type

5. Laminate thickness

6. Operating environment

7. Condition of the rollers

8. Line voltage (effects heaters)

9. Using cooling features.

You may have to adjust temperature or speed depending on stock finish, thickness *Turn heat off when not in use.

Recommended Starting Guide:

• OPP—NAP II Adhesive (8300 Film) / 220*F-240*F. NOTE: Can not be used with prints that contain high

concentrations of silicone fuser oil.

• Digital Lay Flat/ 260*F-280*F. NOTE: To be used with prints that contain high concentrations of silicone fuser

oil. Not recommended to exceed speeds of 36ft/mn with such prints.

THE ART OF LAMINATION

BASIC RULES

• Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal Objects such as staples, paper clips and glitter, as they may damage the

heat or pull rollers.

• Do not force items into the nip area of the heat rollers. An item that is not easily drawn into the laminator by the heat

rollers is probably too thick to laminate.

• Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to reposition an item once it has been grasped by the heat rollers.

• Do not stop the laminator before an item has completely exited the pull rollers. Even a momentary stop will cause a

mark (heat line) on the laminated item.

Good, consistent lamination is a result of combining proper heat, tension and dwell time. Dwell time is controlled by the speed of the motor and is defined as the amount of time the material to be laminated is compressed between the heat rollers.

As a general rule, thicker items and film need to run at slower speeds because they extract more heat from the rollers at a quicker rate. Setting the speed control at slower settings gives the laminator longer dwell time thus allowing proper lamination of thick items. Thinner items, such as standard copier paper (20 lb. bond), extract less heat from the rollers and can be run at faster speeds.

FILM TENSION

Proper film tension, known as brake tension, is the minimum amount required to eliminate wrinkles in the finished item. The film should be taut. A properly adjusted roll of film should not require excessive force to turn by hand.

Film tension should be enough to introduce a minor amount of drag as the film unrolls. Insufficient tension causes wrinkles, while too much tension causes stretching (necking).

MAINTENANCE

Caring For the GBC 620os Laminator

GBC offers Cleaning kits as well as Extended Maintenance Agreements. Contact your local GBC Service Representative or your dealer/distributor for additional information. The only maintenance required by the

operator is to periodically clean the heat rollers and schedule semi annual maintenance checks. The following procedure will help keep the heat rollers free of adhesive that has been deposited along the edge of the laminating film. Proper alignment of the rolls of film reduces the amount of “squeeze out”.

WARNING: Do not attempt to laminate adhesives marked “Flammable”. Do not laminate glitter and/ or metallic items. Damage to the rollers may result.

WARNING: Do not apply any cleaning fluids or solvents to the rollers. Some solvents and fluids could ignite on heated rollers.

Never clean rollers with sharp or pointed objects. Hardened adhesive deposits on the rollers can cause damage to the rollers. Rotate the rollers at the lowest speed

setting on the control panel.

CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED WHILE THE LAMINATOR IS HOT. USE EXTREME CAUTION.

1. Remove the film from the laminator following the Procedure outlined in steps 1 through 6 of the section entitled TO UNWEB THE

LAMINATOR.

2. Preheat the laminator until the “READY” indicator illuminates.

3. Rub the top and bottom heat rollers with cotton Cloth and alcohol. DO NOT USE METAL SCOURING PADS!

4. Refer to the beginning of the section entitled OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS to web your laminator.

NOTE: Do not use metal scouring pads to clean the rollers.
