A. About the
Printer’s
Laminator In addition to printing and applying the standard
clear overlay included on the Color ID Card
PrinterÕs various ribbons, the printer also provides
a built-in lamination system for applying a more
secure, tamper-resistant overlaminate. This built-in
laminator is controlled by both the printer itself and
the printerÕs software driver.
Upon initial power up of the printer, you will
notice that the Laminator LED indicator light on
the front of the printer will flash. This indicates that
the laminator is heating up to its preset, or default
laminating temperature of approximately 300¡ F
(150¡ C). This heating process will generally take
about 5 minutes before the laminator is heated to
the default temperature. Once the laminator
reaches its default temperature, the Laminator LED
light will stop flashing and will remain solid. The
Laminator LED light will flash only when the
laminator is heating up or cooling down to the
prescribed temperature.
If you wish to change the temperature of the
laminator, you can adjust its temperature through
the Lamination controls within the printer driver
setup window (see Section 7-B). Once adjusted, the
new temperature settings will be sent down with
the next print job along with the rest of the printer
driver information. Before printing begins, the
Laminator light will flash and the laminator will
automatically adjust itself to the new temperature
setting. This new temperature setting will remain
programmed within the printer until it is once
again changed within the printer driver or until the
printer is turned OFF. Whenever the printer is
turned OFF, the laminator will automatically reset
itself and return to its default temperature the next
time the printer is powered ON. Pressing the
on/cancel button serves this same purpose in that it
will also reset the laminator to its default
temperature. The temperature setting within the
printer driver, however, will stay the same until
you change it.
THE PRINTER’S LAMINATION ROLLER CAN
REACH TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 350° F
(175° C). USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
OPERATING THE LAMINATOR. NEVER TOUCH
THE LAMINATION ROLLER UNLESS THE
PRINTER POWER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR
AT LEAST 20-30 MINUTES!
