2.2 Emergency stop-buttons

There are two buttons; they are located on the top of the left and right plastic covers of the machine.

Safety / Important Safeguards 7

3 UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

Please read and fully understand the entire manual before proceeding to use your laminator.

3.1 Ambient Conditions

The following environmental conditions are ideal for the best operation of the laminator.

Ambient Temperature

The best temperature for the 44/62 Ultra Plus is between 16°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). Do not expose the laminator to direct sunlight as output quality may be affected.

Relative humidity

For best results, the ambient relative humidity for the 44/62 Ultra Plus should lie between 70% and 90%.

Water and moisture

If the laminator is installed in a damp room or near water, the electrical power supply must be in accordance with the standards prevailing in the country concerned.

3.2 Surroundings

Install the laminator in surroundings that are as clean and dust free as possible in order to obtain the highest quality end product. The materials that are used on this laminator can have an electrostatic charge and will attract dust, adversely affecting the output.

3.3 Power supply

Connect the machine in accordance with the details given on the identification plate attached to the rear of the machine. Refer also to the technical specifications in this section for more information.

3.4 Workspace Requirements

This unit should be situated away from heat sources such as heat registers or stoves. The laminator’s location or position should not interfere with its proper ventilation. There should be enough space around the laminator to feed-in, exit, and trim mounted

and/or laminated images. The background dust level must not exceed that found in a typical office/computer room

environment. The work area should be level, flat, and well lit.

8 Unpacking and Installation

3.5 Setting up the laminator in 4 steps.

1. Remove the cardboard box and the plastic bag as described on the outside of the box.

2. Pick the box behind the laminator which contains the stand parts.

3. Mount the LH-side part of the stand as shown in next figure. (The LH-part is

recognizable by a spring utility on the bracket.) Use two serrated washers and two socket screws M6x16 (see fig.2) Do not tighten the screws completely.
