Loading Film - usi 1800-2700 Owner's Manual

COLOR-CODED LAMINATORS & FILM:
(For more information on this revolutionary system see the back cover)
Select the two rolls of laminating film that you wish to use. Both rolls of film should be of the same size, type and
thickness. Next, take the bottom supply mandrel (marked with the blue Color-Code) and insert it into the roll of film so
the blue end of the mandrel matches the blue end of the film roll. While inserting the mandrel, rotate it in the opposite
direction of which the "gripper dog" points while pressing into the roll of film and center on the mandrel. Place the
loaded mandrel on the machine by matching the blue end with the blue friction stud. To load the top, do the same as
the lower, only match the red ends.

FOR NON-COLOR-CODED LAMINATORS & FILM:
Select the two rolls of laminating film that you wish to use. Both rolls of film should be of the same size, type and
thickness. Next, take the bottom supply mandrel (labeled "Low") and insert it into the roll of film until the "gripper dog"
meets the film's cardboard core (photo 9-1). Rotate the mandrel in the opposite direction from which the "gripper dog"
points. As you rotate, apply pressure to force the mandrel into the roll of film and proceed to center it on the mandrel.
See Figure 8-1.
Place the loaded mandrel on the laminator. Insert the right side first and then lower the left side into the roll bracket
Take the top supply mandrel (labeled "Top"), insert it into the roll of laminating film, and place it in the top position as
with the lower (process shown in photos 9-1, 9-2).
Note: 1" core laminating film is rolled adhesive side in ("poly in"). When loading fim on mandrel, be sure roll is posi-
tioned correctly to unroll as shown in figure 8-1. If the roll is loaded in reverse, the film could adhere to the laminator
when heated.
