The Docuseal 2700 is a commercial quality, heat shoe type, roll laminator with fixed heat and adjustable speed. It is designed to laminate items using 1.5 mil or 3 mil GBC Nap II laminating film. The Safety Shut Down feature cuts power to the heaters if the laminator is left idle for more than two hours Before using the Docuseal 2700 carefully read the Operating Instructions.
3.0 INSTALLATION WARNING: For your protection, do not connect the laminator to electrical power or attempt to operate until you read these instructions completely. Keep operating instructions in a convenient location for future reference. To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions must be observed in the set up and use of the laminator.

3.0 INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL SAFEGUARDS • Do not alter the attachment plug. This plug is configured for the appropriate electrical supply. • This unit is intended for indoor use only. • The receptacle must be located near the equipment and be easily accessible. Do not use an extension cord.
Change the top and bottom roll at the same time. GBC laminating film is labeled near the end of each roll with 'Warning - End of Roll'. When this label appears on either the top or bottom roll of film, a new roll of film must be installed as soon as the item presently being laminated exits the laminator.
4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.2 Laminating Tips • Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal items such as staples or paper clips as they will damage the heat shoes and rollers. • Do not force items into the nip area of the pull rollers. An item that is not easily drawn into the laminator by the pull rollers is probably too thick to laminate.

Products containing moisture will not laminate well. The moisture coverts to steam and forms bubbles in the lamination. The GBC 2700/3100 is a Heat Shoe type laminator that operates at a fixed temperature. The heat shoes are heated by two infrared, rod type heaters that are slid into the shoes. A heat sensor mounted on the lower heat shoe monitors the temperature which is controlled by the Main PCB.

6. 0 ADJUSTMENTS 6.1 Disassembly / Assembly The disassembly of the Docuseal 2700/3100 is described in the following steps. Use section 8.0 as a reference to help you understand the text. Reassemble in reverse order. Note: Disconnect the unit from the receptacle before performing any disassembly procedures.' 6.1.1 Left and Right Cover Removal...
6.0 ADJUSTMENTS 6.2 Film Tension Adjustment The film should be taut. The film roll should not be difficult to turn by hand. The tension should provide a slight drag as the film shaft rotates. Too little tension will cause wrinkles, too much tension will cause stretching and excessive noise as the film passes over the heat shoe .

Infrared temperature sensor. 6.5 Core Adaptor on Supply Shaft The Docuseal 2700 will accept film widths of 12", 18" 25" and 27". The supply shaft uses pre drilled registration holes to position the core adaptors. Correct positioning of the core adaptors will insure the top and bottom rolls of film align with each other and prevent adhesive from contaminating the heat shoes and rollers .

7.2 Rollers Excess adhesive should be removed from rollers periodically. The use of the GBC Silicone Roller Cleaning Kit is recommended (p/n 1 7 1 1 5 1 5). To gain access to the front rollers it is necessary to move the heat shoes out of the way.
