BASIC OPERATING PROCEDURES
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Select the film(s) that you will use on the top (and bottom)
of the images.
Check the recommended temperature setting for the
material(s) selected (see literature enclosed in your material
box).
NOTE: If a process requires heat, turn ON the
heaters 45 minutes before use to ensure
rollers are correct operating temperature.
Refer to the Front Control Panel Diagram for information
on setting the temperature.
CAUTION: The main roller should be down and
turning to prevent uneven hot spots on
the roller. A stationary heated roller will
develop concentrated heat in one area,
which will damage the roller.
SHIM WHEEL SETTINGS
Whenever you mount onto a board, etc., it is important to
adjust the rollers to create a gap nearly equal to the
thickness of the board being used. This is done so that
anything passing between the rollers will receive the right
amount of pressure.

HOW TO SET THE SHIM WHEELS
Determine the thickness of the board being used for
mounting.
Raise the rollers and then turn the shim wheels until the
desired measurement corresponds with the thickness of
board being used.
WARNING: Too much pressure can crush the
board being used and even damage the
top and bottom rollers. Normally, a
press of .025 in. (0.6mm) is sufficient.
