2. Laminating by Coverator
<Functions>
You switch on the system and after a few minutes you can get the optical
information (Green light) which indicates the working temperature is achieved.
The red light informs you only that the system is on.
Regularly, this unit transports the covers onward. In emergency like “Paper Jam”,
you can dive the engine backward by pushing the switch (Black switch) on the front
site.
Front site (not final version)
The suitable cut picture should be placed between foil and the cover.
If something happened, for example
you get “Paper Jam” or something
wrong, you have all the time the
possibility to push the switch on the
front site to drive the engine
backward.
Push!!
With the lever on the front
site, you have the possibility
to reduce (If existing) the
curl.
3. Binding by “Atlas150”
“Atlas150” was designed to use channels and covers from the metal bind system.
The covers and the printed pages are clamped together from the outside by a metal
“channel”.
Depend on the thickness of your pohotobook, you have the possibility to use different
metal channels which you have different width
According to our experience, more than 80% all photobooks, we can use 5mm channel.
If you need exactly width channel, please use the “channel width selecting tool” to
select the correct metal bind channel.
Preparation
Move the clamping lever to
the maximum left.
Lift the handle up to the open
position vertical.
Make sure that the front edge
guide and the black guide with
the ruler are correctly inserted
into the binding slot.
You should combine the front and back covers already laminated, certain pages already
printed, and meal channel. Then you should set these components and put into the
binding machine.
Please remember that the special
shaped side of channel holds the
front page. Only the back wall
which holds the back side will be
pressed and minimal deformed.
Attention
Back Cover
Front Cover
Please pay attention to
the aspect.
Back cover must be
faced to yourself.
Attention
Please check the pages are centered in the covers.
Then, please move the clumping lever of the Atlas150 to the right until you feel
resistance.
Pull down the handle holding the
pages and covers at the same
time.
After that, please lift the handle
up.
Finally, move the adjusting lever to the left and take out the bound photobook.
Finish!!
