General information
Product description
The passport laminator laminates all pages of the passport including the inside of the cover. A wafer-thin holographic film is applied to the paper surface via a temperature-controlled heated roller. The laminator can be integrated into an automatic personalisation system or can function as an independent station. The passport is fed in from the left, right or front depending on the device configuration.
Symbols and conventions
The following symbols and conventions are applied in this user manual.
The symbol indicates parts of the device that are hot and should not be touched. The symbol indicates important information, which must be observed. A failure to do so may lead to injuries. Good advice or information regarding important working steps.
Ready
Text in monospace type indicates contents on the display.

Framed text corresponds with a key on the control panel. 5111

Intended use
The device is constructed in accordance with the latest engineering practice and per the recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, danger to the life and limb of the user or third parties or damage to the device and other property may occur when using it. The device must be operated exclusively when in a technically faultless condition, as intended, with an awareness of safety and potential hazards, and in accordance with the operating manual.
The device is intended exclusively for laminating suitable materials. Any other use or any use exceeding this is considered unintended use. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage that results from misuse. The operator is solely responsible for the resultant risk.
Safety instructions
The device is designed for an AC mains supply from 100 V to 240 V. It must be connected exclusively to sockets with a grounded conductor contact. The device must be operated exclusively in a dry environment and must not be exposed to any moisture (spray, mist, etc.). Do not operate the device in potentially explosive atmospheres. Do not operate the device in close proximity to high voltage lines. If the device is operated with an open cover then it is essential to ensure that clothing, hair, jewellery and similar personal effects cannot come into contact with the exposed, rotating parts. The device or parts of it may become hot during lamination. Do not touch during operation and allow to cool prior to changing the film if necessary. Risk of crushing when locking the heated rollers or closing the cover. Only execute the actions described in this user manual. Further work must be carried out exclusively by trained personnel or service technicians. Unprofessional intervention or modifications to the device may endanger operational safety. 61

Environmental information
When opening the housing cover a risk of death exists due to live parts.
The device comprises materials that can be reused when processed by specialist recycling companies. The optimum design of the laminator facilitates a straightforward separation of the recyclable materials. Label the device as scrap and dispose of it in accordance with the legal regulations

Unpacking and setting up the device
•Remove the device from its packaging and place on a level surface.•Check the laminator for transport damage.•Check delivery for completeness.
Scope of supply:•Passport laminator•Mains cable•Feed table•Key for cover hood
Store original packaging for subsequent transportation. Mounting the feed table
•Open housing cover, if necessary unlock the lock first•Remove the crosshead screws (1-3) from the device.•Attach the feed table (4) such that the holes line up and screw in place.
You will need a Phillips head screwdriver

Connecting the device
Mains switchMains fuse 2A slow blowMains connection jackRS232 interface
Connecting to the power supply
The laminator is equipped with a broad-range power pack for a mains voltage of100 V to 240 V.•Ensure that the device is switched off.•Plug the mains cable into the mains connection jack.•Plug the mains cable plug into an earthed socket Connecting to a computer
For configuration and service purposes the laminator must be connected to the computer with a suitable interface cable (optional). Switching on the deviceOnce all connections have been established it is possible to switch the laminator on via the mains switch.
The device carries out initialisation with a simultaneous self-test. If no error is present, heated roller heating commences and the display indicates HEATING. After roughly 10 minutes the laminator is ready for operation and the display switches to the Ready status.
Mains switcher
It is assumed that film is already present inside the device.

Inserting film213445
There is a risk of burning on the safety guard for the heated roller (5) Newly inserted patch film must be subsequently synchronised. This is not necessary in the case of holographic film without an index mark. The process therefore differs very slightly. Refer also in this regard to the menu under Device.
When inserting or exchanging patch film proceed as follows:•Open housing cover, if necessary unlock the lock first•Switch off the device and let it cool down•Release the heated roller interlocking. To do so push the lever (3) up.•When exchanging the film additionally empty carrier rollers (1,2)•Switch on the device. An error message is displayed.•Slide the film roll onto the unwinding carrier roller (1) until it reaches the limit stop.•Slide an empty film core onto the winding carrier roller (2) until it reaches the limit stop.•Insert the film in accordance with the drawing shown above. Attach the start of the film to the empty core with adhesive tape. •Close the heated roller interlocking. To do so push the lever (3) down.•Transport film with to the first patch and when doing so check that the film runs correctly and crease-free. •Delete error message with . The film is re-synchronised.
CLEAR
The first index mark on the film should lie between the two sensors (4), in order that no patch is lost.

Insert the passport (1) in the feed table (2) and slide it forwards until it reaches the middle edge (3). The rocker (4) closes, takes hold of the document and draws it in. 1234 132

The control panel
Control panel configuration
The display informs the user of the current device status, reports errors and indicates configuration settings in the menu. The keys enable control functions, the accessing of information and navigation within the menu. If the device is switched on then the green LED illuminates. An error is additionally signalled via the red LED.
The control panel can be folded out for improved ease of operation and legibility. To do this draw the black button on the bottom edge of the control panel forwards The functionality of the control panel differs in the start menu and the configuration menu.
Key functions in the start menu
The start menu contains all functions on one level, making these directly accessible. Key navigation is not required. During lamination the buttons are locked.
