Selecting the Lamination Type
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.
Step Procedure
1A Select the Film Lamination option if the Thermal Transfer Film Overlaminate
type is installed in the Lamination Module.

The Film Lamination may be applied with or without the application of an
additional overlay from a paneled, full-color print Ribbon.

The Overlay (O) Panel provides additional Ultra-Violet (UV) light
protection and additional abrasion resistance not found when using film
laminations alone; however, it requires use of a print Ribbon with an
Overlay (O) Panel.

If using Film lamination, the additional protection of the print Ribbon's
overlay panel is recommended.

If the Film Lamination option is selected, the film lamination is applied to
the printed card, then the card is ejected. (Note: This is the fastest way
to apply the film lamination, yet it provides the lowest film durability.)
