Industrial after error is
corrected
Initially, the display will show “SLP” (Sleep). Once film is loaded, the machine will detect the roll.
The green LED on the Start Button will begin flashing. A flashing green LED indicates that the
machine is warming to the correct seal temperature. The Control Panel will display seal
temperature while adjusting.
When the correct temperature is reached, the green LED will remain solid green. The display
will show “RDY” (Ready). The machine is ready for production. Press the Start Button to begin
making Air Cushions.
Start production
When the green LED remains steady green, and the
Display reads “RDY” (Ready), press and release the
Start Button again to begin production. The Air
Pump will force air into the film, and after a few
seconds the Drive Motor will advance the inflated Air
Cushions through the Seal Bar and past the Slitting
Blade. Air Cushions will emerge at the front of the
machine.
Press the Stop Button to stop production. The
machine is factory set in continuous mode, and will
create Air Cushions until the Film Roll is empty. To
create a fixed length of Air Cushions, use the Length
Control buttons (next page).

Sleep mode
If the machine is not used for 30 minutes, it will enter
“Sleep” mode. The Display will read “SLP”. To
resume Air Cushion production, press the Reset
Button. The Seal Bar will begin heating. Press the
Start Button again when the green LED remains
steady green and the Display reads “rdy” to resume
Air Cushion production.
Machine settings
Changing Machine Settings
The machine automatically chooses the correct air and temperature settings for the Film Roll
you have loaded. You do not need to adjust Machine settings manually. However, if the
automatic settings are not optimal, the Control Panel allows you to change the following
settings:
•Length control
•Air – Fill level control
•Seal temperature control
Length control
Length Control sets the number of Air Cushions to be
produced each time you press the Start Button. You have
2 options:
Continuous Mode
Length Control at the factory is preset at continuous
production. Press the Start Button and the machine will
run the film until the Film Roll is empty or the Stop Button
is pressed. The Machine will display the number of Air
Cushions produced.
Number of Cushions
If you want to produce a fixed length of Air Cushions,
press the + Button until the desired number is displayed.
The machine will count down the number of Air Cushions
yet to produce.
To change from Fixed to Continuous mode, press the
- Button until the Display shows ”---”.

Air control
Air Control regulates the amount of air in the Air
Cushions.
If you want fuller Air Cushions, press the + Button.
If you want less full Air Cushions, press the - Button.
Seal temperature control
The Temperature Control regulates the temperature of
the Seal unit that fuses the front and back film sheets
together.
If the Air Cushions become flat, and upon inspection the
Heat Seals are leaking air, increase the Temperature
Control by pressing the + Button.
If the Air Cushions become flat because the seals are
burned through at the seal line, as evidenced by holes in
the Air Cushions, decrease the Temperature Control by
pressing the - Button.
NOTE: After changing the Temperature Control setting,
the MINI PAK’R V3 may take a few moments to establish
the new seal temperature. During heat-up or cool down,
the green LED will flash until the correct temperature has
been achieved.
If Air Cushions continue to show poor seals and produce
flat cushions, contact Pregis for assistance.

Maintaining MINI PAK’R V3
Risk of Burn!
Before opening Covers, turn Power OFF, unplug the Power Cord, and
wait 10 minutes for the machine to cool down.
Improving slit performance
The slit performance can be improved by reposition, flip or replace the slitting blade:
•If the film jams frequently
•If the blade is not cutting the film properly or is making a very rough cut
1. Turn power off, unplug power
cord, then wait 10 minutes for
the machine to cool down.
2. Loosen the integrated screw in
the top cover, with a slotted or
Philips screwdriver.
3. Open the top cover

MINI PAK’R V3 - MM2I2IN115 / MM2I2IN230 Page 16 of 21
4. Unscrew thumbscrew to
loosen the blade
5. The slit performance can be
improved by repositioning the
blade, so that the film is again
cut by a sharp section of the
blade. This is achieved by a
number of options:
a) Reposition blade further
into the manifold
b) Flip the blade on the short
edge
c) Exchange blade if cut
edge is fully used
6. (Re-)position the blade
7. Tighten the thumb screw
