2-12 Theory of Operation
D. The clutch is released, and the motor drives the rollers to move the card
down into the lower duplex.
10. Using the same procedure, the lower duplex inserts the card into the
laminator transport.
Lamination Process
1. The card is moved toward the laminator position at normal transport speed,
as the laminate foil is registered.
2. Once the card clears the card registration sensor, the speed is slowed down
and the card is moved to the apply area.
3. While both the transport and the foil motor are in hold, the heated roller is
moved to the down position.
4. If necessary, the flipper is moved into the debow position.
5. The foil and transport motors are activated, and the laminate is applied to the
card.
6. When the length of the card has been laminated, the roller is lifted to the
home position.
7. The transport continues to move the card a short distance past the heated
roller.
8. The foil motor increases speed and advances slightly to strip the foil from the
card.
9. If debow is enabled, the card is moved back to the duplex.
A. The duplex flipper had already been placed out of alignment with the
card track.
B. The card is pushed against the duplex flipper, bending the card in the
process.
C. The card is held in this position for a short time.
10. The card is moved to the optional second laminator and the same process is
completed for laminating the other side of the card. The debow process is
completed by the debow roller at the printer exit.
