PL400 & PL900 Owner Manual
To Start
Plug the attached power cord into the appropriate wall outlet. Press the power switch to the ON position. The red power
switch will light up while the laminator is turned on. When the laminator reaches operating temperature, the green ready
light will go on, indicating the laminator is ready for use.
Note: The laminator may emit some smoke and a slight odor the first time it is used. There is no
need for alarm. This is normal and will cease after it is used a few times.
To Laminate
CAUTION - Failure to use a carrier may damage the machine.
DO NOT laminate heat-sensitive thermal paper such as special poster printer or fax machine paper.
1. Select a carrier that is closest in size to the pouch being used. The carrier must be larger than the pouch and have a
minimum length of 4-1/2".
2. Place the material to be laminated in the center of the laminating pouch.
3. Insert the loaded pouch into the carrier. The carrier should completely cover the lamination pouch. This avoids
depositing adhesive on the heaters and rollers.
4. Slowly insert the short edge of the carrier into the entrance slot on the laminator.Hold the end of the carrier until the
machine rollers grab the carrier. Do not put the carrier into the laminator slot at an angle. Inserting the carrier too fast or
pushing the carrier too quickly may cause insufficient lamination of the document's leading edge.
5. The machine's rollers will pull the carrier through the laminator.The carrier will automatically exit the machine on the
opposite side.
6. Allow the carrier to lie flat while it cools. If handled before the adhesive cools, the pouch may become distorted. After
the carrier cools, remove the laminated item. If the lamination appears cloudy, process the pouch through the laminator
a second time.
Note: We recommend replacing carriers after approximately 50 uses to maintain superior lamination results.
7. If trimming the laminated item, leave a minimum of 1/8" border around the document for full encapsulation. You may
trim the item flush, but this leaves the document edge exposed to the possibility of water damage.
8. Press the power switch to the OFF position after finishing laminating.
Temperature
The USI Personal Pouch Laminator has been carefully factory-calibrated to produce a laminated pouch of high quality.
The temperature setting has been selected to process laminating pouches for good adhesion to the document with
minimum edge seal.
