Requirements for receiving repair:
Fill out the Technical Support request on the Contact page.
Return Merchandise Agreements are required for all repair requests. Do not ship

must be shipped in original box with foam supports and must have approved RMA
# on outside of box. Any returns without an approved RMA # will be refused and
returned to shipper at shippers expense.
Media should
come off the top of
the roll, rather than
under. The stand-
ard media path is
to feed over the
top bar and under
the bottom bar as
seen in the picture
at left. The bottom
bar can be lowered
and raised to adjust
tension.

set up
Use the supplied
allen wrench to
loosen hub lock
on bar. Slide one
hub off, load roll,
replace hub and
tighten hub lock.
Don’t press the
hubs too tightly
against the
media roll,
it needs to spin
in place.
Install your power
cord into the
back of your
machine, just
under the on/
off switch. 120V
machines are
supplied with a
power cord.
Be sure the washer
is on the outer side
of the blue wall
when you install
your media bar.
Tighten the black
handles snugly.
The bar should not
spin during usage.
For particularly heavy rolls, an
alternative lm path is recommended.
Try feeding it between the two rolls
rather than directing it around the
bars. You’ll want to raise the lower bar
close to the top bar to prevent the lm
from slipping out of place. As your roll
gets lighter, simply re-route the media
to the standard feed path.

measuring
for lm
Measuring your box to determine the needed lm size can be confusing.
You need to consider HOW you want your box to be wrapped. For the neatest
wraps, you’ll want the folded edges to occur on the shorter or smaller sides. These
sides where the folds will occur are the “ends.” The distance between these two
“ends” is the “span.” Start by nding the measurement of your span. This is the
distance between the two ends.

The lm needs to lay across the span to the edge and then fold over more than
half way down the ends. If the lm doesn’t go more than half way down, there
won’t be any overlap to accomodate the seal. Let’s start this step by measuring
the depth of one end.

span + end depth + amount of overlap = lm width
Now you’ll need to determine how much overlap you want for the ends. If you
want .25” of overlap, add .25” to the equation. For .5” of overlap, add .5” to the
equation and so forth. For boxes with long, shallow ends, we recommend adding
the full depth again.
For a 3”x3”x3” box with .5” desired overlap, the formula would be:
3 + 3 + .5 = 6.5” roll
For a 5”x1”x3” box with .75” desired overlap, the formula would be:
5 + 1 + .75 = 6.75” roll
span + end depth + amount of overlap
= your lm width

how much
overlap?
Determining overlap on cubes and approximate cube shaped boxes:
The left example shows a quarter inch overlap. The right example shows an
inch and a quarter overlap. For cubes, we recommend a smaller overlap.
You’ll need to use more caution to make sure the box is centered as you
wrap, but there will fewer layers of lm and a neater appearance.
Determining overlap on shallow end boxes:
With less depth on the ends, the amount of overlap is a bit different than
with square shaped ends. If you allow very little overlap (see the top exam-
ple above) the ends look more cluttered. We recommend a full end over-
lap (as in the lower example). You achieve this by adding the span + end
depth + end depth again. The ends will look neater and you won’t have to
be as cautious to perfectly center your box.
TEST YOUR SIZE BEFORE ORDERING:
Before you place your custom roll order, cut some paper to the desired
width. Wrap this around your box and tape in place. This is the best way to
determine if what you think you need is REALLY what you need.
