the printer until it is once again changed within the printer driver or until the
printer is turned OFF. Whenever the printer is turned OFF, the laminator will
automatically reset itself and return to its default temperature the next time the
printer is turned ON. Pressing the On/Cancel button or disconnecting the printerÕs
power cord both serve to reset the laminator to its default temperature. The
temperature setting within the printer driver, however, will stay the same until you
change it.
CAUTION! THE PRINTERÕS LAMINATION ROLLER CAN REACH TEMPERATURES
EXCEEDING 350¡ F (175¡ C). USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING
THE LAMINATOR. NEVER TOUCH THE LAMINATION ROLLER UNLESS
THE PRINTER POWER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR AT LEAST 20-30
MINUTES!
B. ABOUT OVERLAMINATES
The Pro-LÕs internal lamination system allows you to choose between either a
Thermal Transfer Film overlaminate or a polyester chip overlaminate called
PolyGuardª. The Thermal Film overlaminate is a relatively thin material and
provides a medium level of ID card durability and security. PolyGuard is a much
thicker material and provides an extremely high level of ID card durability and
security. Therefore, PolyGuard should always be used for those applications
requiring the highest degree of ID card durability and security.
Both PolyGuard and the Thermal Film overlaminates are available in either a clear
or generic ÒsecureÓ holographic-type design. Custom holographic-type
overlaminate designs are also available with specific designs, patterns, logos and
security features. Please contact your authorized reseller for more information.
IMPORTANT! If using the Thermal Transfer Film overlaminate, a variety of laminating options
are available within the printer driver. Please refer to the Lamination description
in Section 6-D for complete details about these options.
C. LOADING OVERLAMINATE INTO THE PRINTER
The loading process for both the Thermal Transfer Film and the PolyGuard
overlaminate material is the same. Refer to the following steps to load either type
of overlaminate into the printer.
CAUTION! DO NOT TOUCH THE METAL LAMINATION SHIELD OR THE LAMINATION
ROLLER WHEN LOADING OVERLAMINATE. YOU WILL BURN YOURSELF!
1. Remove the overlaminate from its packaging.
