Tips for Using the Akiles Pro-Lam 230 Laminator

A good pouch laminator is the machine to use when you need to protect important documents. The Akiles Pro-Lam 230 is one such device and using it ispretty easy.However, everyone can use a little help from time to time, so here are some tips for using this machine:

The Pro-Lam 230 has a 9-inch feed opening so you can laminate letter- and legal-sized documents. You'll want to make sure your items are less than 9" across so they'll fit in the feed opening.
This laminator has an on-board laminating guide. You'll find it on top of the machine. The guide tells you what temperature setting to use depending on the thickness of your laminating pouch. You need to select the temperature settings and then let the machine warm up for 3 to 4 minutes. When the device is ready, a light will go on so you'll know when you can get started.
Using a carrier with the Pro-Lam 230 is highly regemended. A carrier will prevent adhesive from leaking out of the laminating pouch. Not only does this reduce the likelihood of pouch jams, it keep the inside of the laminator clean. You can get much more use out of a clean laminator than a dirty one.
When you start laminating your document, make sure the folded edge of the carrier goes in first. This ensures that your document will be processed properly.
The Pro-Lam 230 has a standby mode. Make sure you keep the machine on standby if you need to take a break but will resume laminating a few minutes later. Using the standby mode helps keep the machine in good working order.
Finally, you should always turn this machine off when you're finished laminating all of your documents. This prevents the motor from overheating.
The Akiles Pro-Lam 230 is a great pouch laminator for office applications. You'll be able to get a lot of use out of this machine if you follow the above steps. Good luck and happy laminating!
