Specifications

Setup

1. Unpack the Dispenser: Carefully remove the Scotch LS1000 Laminating Dispenser from its packaging. Place it on a stable, flat surface.
2. Insert Film Cartridge: Open the top cover of the dispenser. Align the dual laminating film cartridge with the designated slots inside the dispenser. Gently push down until it clicks into place. Ensure the film is properly threaded according to the arrows or guides inside the machine.
3. Prepare for Use: Close the top cover. The dispenser is now ready for lamination. No power connection is required.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Document: Ensure your document is clean, flat, and free of wrinkles. The LS1000 can laminate items up to 12 inches wide.
2. Insert Document: Carefully feed the leading edge of your document into the input slot at the front of the dispenser. Ensure it is centered and straight.
3. Begin Lamination: Turn the crank handle on the side of the dispenser clockwise at a steady, even pace. The document will be pulled through the laminator, and the film will be applied.
4. Retrieve Laminated Document: Continue turning the crank until the entire document has passed through the laminator and emerges from the output slot.
5. Trim (Optional): If desired, use scissors or a paper trimmer to trim any excess laminating film around the edges of your document, leaving a small border for best seal.

Note: For best results, avoid stopping and starting the crank during lamination. Maintain a consistent speed.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the dispenser with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Film Cartridge Replacement: When a film cartridge is empty, open the top cover and remove the used cartridge. Dispose of it properly and insert a new Scotch DL1001 dual laminating film cartridge as described in the Setup section.
• Storage: Store the laminating dispenser in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• Document Not Feeding:
  • Ensure the document is inserted straight and centered.
  • Check if the film cartridge is properly seated.
  • Verify there are no obstructions in the input slot.
• Uneven Lamination/Bubbles:
  • Ensure the document is flat and smooth before lamination.
  • Turn the crank handle at a consistent, steady speed. Avoid jerky movements.
  • Check if the film cartridge is correctly installed and not damaged.
• Film Jam:
  • Do not force the crank.
  • Open the top cover and carefully inspect the film path.
  • Gently pull the document or film backward if possible, or consult the manufacturer's support for severe jams.
