Chapter 1 Overview and Setup
The Laminator is an accessory for the IX-R7000. The Laminator streamlines the printing process by
laminating the cards as they are printed by the IX-R7000.
To use the Laminator, it is required to install a special firmware on the IX-R7000. This firmware
allows for the IX-R7000 to communicate with the Laminator. See Firmware Requirements on page

Installation
The Laminator must be installed against the left side of the IX-R7000 so that the printer output slot
aligns with the Laminator input slot. The Laminator connects to the IX-R7000 via an RS-232C serial
cable to facilitate communication and error handling. The serial cable must be connected to the
(OPTION) port on the IX-R7000. The Laminator must always be turned on first before turning on
the IX-R7000.
