NOTE Your machine may be supplied with an LCD screen instead of the control panel. Please refer to the LCD screen user guide on how to operate it.

Access to the side panels of the machine and the option module installation/removal areas is restricted to your retailer/installer or to experienced users. The machine

should always be disconnected from the power supply (unplugged) before carrying out any work on it.

1. Place the printer on the connector module.

2. Connect the power cable to the power supply unit, then plug the power cable connector into the printer. Attach all the cables required (USB, network, etc.) to connect

the printer as indicated in the diagram.

3. Connect the power cable to the lamination module power supply, then plug the power cable connector into the lamination module.

4. Carefully place the lamination module onto the connector module, retaining the routing of the cables. The printer and the lamination module communicate through

infra-red connectors.

It is important that the print module and the lamination module are placed on a flat surface.

• The print and lamination modules should be connected to their power supplies before proceeding.

• The ends of the 2 power cables should then be plugged into 2 earthed power sockets.

• The system is powered on: the NXT5000 Lamination control panel lights up showing that the system is working properly. If the control panel

does not light up, then either the installation has not been carried out correctly or the printer is not working properly. Check the installation.
