Basic Operation

Gently guide the document
forward while turning the crank

handle clockwise.

TIP: To save a later

trimming operation, trim off any excess
material on the leading edge of the
output (with cut blade) before advancing
completely through the dispenser.

Trim to desired length using the

cut blade at the roller exit. Apply
downward pressure on the orange
blade holder and slide to the left or
right. When applying adhesive, remove
the protective clear film on top to
eliminate excess adhesive from around
your item. Remove white liner when
you’re ready to adhere to your item.

Before inserting your

document, turn crank handle
clockwise one revolution to ensure
film is wrinkle-free. Insert and align
document on feed tray. Extend the
document underneath the paddle
on the feed tray and completely
into the cartridge opening until it
touches the film/adhesive.
