Selecting the Lamination Type

Step Procedure
1 Select one of the Lamination Type options, according to which type of
Lamination media is currently installed. Two types of overlaminates are
supported by the Driver: Film Lamination and PolyGuard Lamination.
Custom versions of each type are also available.
Select the Clear Film Lamination option if the Thermal Transfer Film
Overlaminate type is installed in the Lamination Module.
Select the 0.6 PolyGuard Lamination option or 1.0 PolyGuard
Lamination option for either patch thickness. (Note: These require
different heat settings and Lamination speeds. Select the appropriate
option according to the thickness of the PolyGuard material you are
using.)
Select Registered Film Lamination if you have a registered thermal
transfer film.
PolyGuard Alternating Patch and Holographic Film Lamination
are options.
2 Click on the Default button to return the Transfer Dwell Time and
Transfer Temperature to the Default settings for the Lamination Type
(being used).
3 Use the checkbox for auto detection of the consumables, which are the
Ribbon and, Film. See below.
In the Firmware, the values (representing the installed Ribbon,
installed Transfer Film) are updated on initialization (including each
time the cover is closed).
The Firmware compares the Ribbon and, Film values in the PRN file
to the values (it holds regarding the currently installed consumables).
If the values do not match, the LCD displays Wrong Laminate Error.
