1. Select the desired lamination mode (Hot or Cold) and wait for the 'Ready' light to turn green.
2. Prepare your document by placing it neatly inside a suitable laminating pouch. Ensure the document is centered and there is a small margin around it.
3. Insert the sealed edge of the laminating pouch into the laminator entry slot. The machine will automatically feed the pouch through.
4. Allow the pouch to pass completely through the machine. Do not pull or obstruct the pouch during the process.
