FEATURES & TIPS

$Fellowes-Neptune-3-Office-Laminator $3$$ AutoSense
The unique system detects pouch thickness and self-adjusts to the optimal lamination setting.
Lamination Feed Sensor
When the machine senses a pouch has been mis-fed or has not gone completely through the machine in normal operating time, the machine will stop the lamination process, the Reverse button LED will blink, and a beep will sound. Press and hold the reverse button on the front of the machine to remove the laminate.
’Reverse’ function
To eject the laminating pouch during use, press and hold down the reverse button until the pouch has ejected from the machine.
‘Sleep Mode’ function
If the machine is not active for 30 minutes, the ‘Sleep Mode’ function will place the machine into standby mode. To operate the machine, press the ‘Power On’ button on the control panel.
Auto (Hot)/Cold
- The Auto (hot)/cold button is used to toggle back and forth between hot and cold laminating.
- For best results, use Fellowes ® brand pouches: 3, 5, or 7 mil pouches.
- This machine does not need a carrier to laminate. It is a carrier-free mechanism.
- Always put the item to be laminated into the appropriate sized pouch.
- Always test laminate with a similar size and thickness before the final process.
- Prepare pouch and item for lamination. Place the item within the pouch centered and touching the leading sealed edge. Ensure the pouch is not too large for the item.
- If required, trim excess material from around the item after lamination and cooling.

BEFORE LAMINATING

Ensure the machine is on a stable surface.
Check there is enough clear space (min 20”) behind the machine to allow items to pass through freely.
Plug the machine into an easily accessible main outlet.
Fit the Exit Tray to the rear of the machine.

STEPS TO LAMINATE

Switch the power on (located at the rear right side of the machine).
The Standby button will remain on with a soft blue glow.
Press the ‘Standby’ button on the control panel. The Auto display will flash. The auto display will turn solid and a beep will sound when the laminator is ready.
The machine will automatically warm up to the hot pouch (auto) setting. Note: the laminator features AutoSense which automatically recognizes the pouch thickness you insert into the laminator. The laminator automatically adjusts for hot pouches from 3 mil to 7 mil.
When the machine has indicated it’s ready, place the pouch, sealed edge first, into the pouch/document entry. Keep the pouch straight and central within the document entry, not on an angle. Use the entry markings as a guide.
If cold lamination is desired, press the cold button at any time and the cold button will blink blue. When the laminator is ready for cold lamination the cold button will turn solid blue and a beep will sound. Note: to use the cold setting after hot lamination you may have to wait for the laminator to cool down for 30 – 60 minutes.
To switch back to hot pouch laminating after cold laminating, press the auto (hot)/cold button.
Upon exit, the laminated pouch is hot and soft. Remove the pouch immediately. Place the pouch onto a flat surface to cool.
This helps prevent any jamming.
