Product description
The passport laminator laminates all pages of the passport including the inside of
the cover. A wafer-thin holographic film is applied to the paper surface via a
temperature-controlled heated roller. The laminator can be integrated into an
automatic personalisation system or can function as an independent station. The
passport is fed in from the left, right or front depending on the device
configuration.

•Check the laminator for transport damage.
•Check delivery for completeness.
Scope of supply:
•Passport laminator
•Mains cable
•Feed table
•Key for cover hood
Store original packaging for subsequent transportation.
Mounting the feed table
•Open housing cover, if necessary unlock the lock first
•Remove the crosshead screws (1-3) from the device.

Connecting the device
Mains switch
Mains fuse 2A slow blow
Mains connection jack
RS232 interface
Connecting to the power supply
The laminator is equipped with a broad-range power pack for a mains voltage of
100 V to 240 V.
•Ensure that the device is switched off.
•Plug the mains cable into the mains connection jack.
•Plug the mains cable plug into an earthed socket
Connecting to a computer
For configuration and service purposes the laminator must be connected to the
computer with a suitable interface cable (optional).
Switching on the device
Once all connections have been
established it is possible to switch
the laminator on via the mains
switch.
The device carries out initialisation
with a simultaneous self-test. If no
error is present, heated roller
heating commences and the display
indicates HEATING. After roughly 10 minutes the laminator is ready for operation
and the display switches to the Ready status.
Mains switcher
It is assumed that film is already present inside the device.

There is a risk of burning on the safety guard for the heated roller (5)
Newly inserted patch film must be subsequently synchronised. This is not
necessary in the case of holographic film without an index mark. The process
therefore differs very slightly. Refer also in this regard to the menu under Device.
When inserting or exchanging patch film proceed as follows:
•Open housing cover, if necessary unlock the lock first
•Switch off the device and let it cool down
•Release the heated roller interlocking. To do so push the lever (3) up.
•When exchanging the film additionally empty carrier rollers (1,2)
•Switch on the device. An error message is displayed.
•Slide the film roll onto the unwinding carrier roller (1) until it reaches the
limit stop.
•Slide an empty film core onto the winding carrier roller (2) until it reaches the
limit stop.
•Insert the film in accordance with the drawing shown above. Attach the start
of the film to the empty core with adhesive tape.
•Close the heated roller interlocking. To do so push the lever (3) down.
•Transport film with to the first patch and when doing so check that the
film runs correctly and crease-free.
•Delete error message with . The film is re-synchronised.
CLEAR
The first index mark on the film should lie between the two sensors (4),
in order that no patch is lost.

runs correctly and crease-free.
Inserting a document
Insert the passport (1) in the feed table (2) and slide it forwards until it reaches

The control panel
Control panel configuration
The display informs the
user of the current device
status, reports errors and
indicates configuration
settings in the menu.
The keys enable control
functions, the accessing of
information and navigation
within the menu.
If the device is switched on then the green LED illuminates. An error is
additionally signalled via the red LED.
The control panel can be folded out for improved ease of operation and
legibility. To do this draw the black button on the bottom edge of the
control panel forwards
The functionality of the control panel differs in the start menu and the
configuration menu.
Key functions in the start menu
The start menu contains all functions on one level, making these directly
accessible. Key navigation is not required. During lamination the buttons are
locked.
