A. ABOUT THE PRO-L’S LAMINATOR

In addition to printing and applying the standard clear overlay panel included on

the various ribbon types, the Pro-L also provides a built-in lamination system for

applying a more secure, tamper-resistant overlaminate. This built-in laminator is

controlled by both the printer itself and the printerÕs software driver.

NOTE:

The Pro Card Printer does not have a built-in laminator. If using the Pro, disregard this

section and go on to Section 6.

Upon initial power up of the printer, you will notice that the bottom line of the

LCD display will read Lam Adjust Temp. This indicates that the laminator is

heating up to its preset, or default laminating temperature of approximately 300¡ F

(150¡ C). This heating process will generally take about 3-4 minutes before the

laminator is heated to the default temperature. Once the laminator reaches its

default temperature, the LCD display will change to Lam Ready. Note that the

LCD display will read Lam Adjust Temp whenever the laminator is heating up or

cooling down to the prescribed temperature.

If you wish to change the temperature of the laminator, you can adjust its

temperature through the Lamination controls within the printer driver setup

window (see Section 6-D). Once adjusted, the new temperature settings will be sent

down with the next print job along with the rest of the printer driver information.

Before printing begins, the laminator will automatically adjust itself to the new

temperature setting. This new temperature setting will remain programmed within
