Film-supply maintenance

A red marker appears when the film supply is running out. Please replace the film roll as soon as you
notice this red marker. The red tape will appear approximately 39.4" (1000 mm) from the end of the roll.
If the red marker appears, replace the film immediately. Please refer to 'Replacing the film cartridge' on
page 23 or 'Installing/replacing the film roll in the cartridge on page 25 to refill the film cartridge.
The starter cartridge produces about 11 US letter size sheets (landscape direction) in continuous mode. A
regular roll double-sided laminate film produces about 168 US letter size sheets (landscape direction) in
continuous mode.
Please refer to the compatible accessory list on page 1 for other supply information.
Note
A red tape will appear when the laminate film is reaching the end.
If this red tape appears, replace the film immediately. This red tape can simply be peeled off your
original document without causing damage.
Attempting to laminate another document after the red marker appears may result in a damaged and/or
cut document.
