   Using the lamination guide located on the machine (fig.1), select the 

appropriate temperature setting for the pouch gauge thickness and 
material you are laminating using the Up/Down Arrow keys.

When laminating thin paper with light ink coverage, set the temperature 
dial to the low end of the film gauge range. Thick paper with heavy ink 
coverage requires higher settings within the range. Temperature settings 
will vary due to the finish, chemistry and heat absorption properties 
of the material being laminated. If the laminated pouch is cloudy after 
the first pass through the machine, adjust the temperature to the next 
higher position and run it through again. If waviness occurs, reduce the 
temperature to the next lower position. Always allow sufficient time for 
the laminator temperature to adjust to the changes made to the settings.

   When the laminator has reached the correct lamination temperature 

the countdown to ready will indicate “Ready” 0 minutes on the LCD 
display.
