Frequently Asked Questions - Venus 2 A3/125 FELLOWES

How to use the Venus 2 A3/125 laminator?

Plug in the device, turn it on and wait for the indicator light to show that the temperature is reached (about 1 minute). Insert your document into a suitable laminating pouch (up to 125 microns) and feed the pouch into the entry. The machine automatically pulls it through. To stop, wait for the end of the cycle or use the reverse function in case of a jam.

What type of pouch should I use?

Use Fellowes or compatible laminating pouches, max A3 size, maximum thickness 125 microns. Thicker pouches may damage the machine.

What to do in case of a paper jam?

Press the reverse button to release the jammed pouch. If that is not enough, unplug the machine and carefully remove the pouch by hand. Never force it.

Does the laminator take long to heat up?

The warm-up time is approximately 1 minute. A green light turns on when the working temperature is reached.

Can I laminate thick documents or those with rigid corners?

It is not recommended to laminate objects that are too thick or have hard corners (e.g., badges) as this could damage the rollers. For thicker documents, use a suitable pouch but do not exceed 125 microns.

How to clean the rollers?

Wait for the machine to cool down completely. Use a slightly damp soft cloth to wipe the rollers. Do not use abrasive products or solvents.

Can the laminator operate continuously?

Yes, but it is recommended to take a break after 10 laminations to avoid overheating. The machine has thermal protection that automatically shuts off in case of overheating.

What is the power consumption?

The consumption is approximately 350 W. Use a standard 220-240 V mains socket.

Where to find spare parts or pouches?

Compatible pouches are available from office supply retailers. Internal parts are not sold separately; in case of breakdown, contact Fellowes customer service.

What to do if the machine no longer heats up?

Check that the plug is properly connected and the power button is on. If the indicator light does not come on, the internal fuse may have blown. Contact Fellowes customer service for repair.

FEATURES & TIPS

Advanced Pouch Tracking System

This feature will detect and alert the user if there is a mis-feed or the document has not gone completely through the machine in normal operating time, and automatically reverse the document until the jam is cleared. This feature will also track the pouch as it is going through the machine and let the user know when the machine is ready for the next pouch.

AutoSense

Unique system detects pouch thickness and self-adjusts to optimal lamination setting.

'Reverse' function

To eject the laminating pouch during use, press and hold down the reverse button until the pouch has ejected from the machine.

'Auto Shut-Off' 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.

• For best results, use Fellowes ® brand thermal pouches: Enhance 80, Impress 100, Capture 125, Protect 175, Preserve 250 and cold 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 final process.
• Prepare pouch and item for lamination. Place item within 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

1. Ensure the machine is on a stable surface.

2. Check there is enough clear space (min 50cm) behind the machine to allow items to pass through freely.

3. Plug the machine into an easily accessible main outlet.

4. Equip the Exit Tray for best laminating results.

STEPS TO LAMINATE

1. Switch the power on (located at the rear right side of the machine). The control panel buttons will flash once as part of a check light system to ensure proper function.
2. The Standby button will turn on with a soft blue glow. The machine is automatically warming up to hot lamination. Note: the laminator features AutoSense which automatically recognizes the pouch thickness you insert into the laminator.
3. When the machine is ready, the green "Ready" READY LED and entry tray LED's will come on and the machine will beep to indicate that it is ready for lamination. Also, the micron lights will come on indicating when the machine is warmed up to each setting.
4. The Green "Feed" FEED light will light up when the user can insert a pouch. The light will go off when the document is inside the machine and will come back on when it is acceptable to feed another pouch.
5. To toggle between Cold and Hot lamination, press and hold the "Ready" button for 2 seconds. The Ready icon will blink 3 times in "Blue" when initially switched to the Cold mode to indicate that the mode has been switched then the Ready light will turn off until the machine is ready for cold lamination. Note: to use the cold setting after hot lamination you may have to wait for the laminator to cool down for 30 - 60 minutes.

6. When the machine is ready for Cold Lamination the "Ready" LED will illuminate "Blue" and the machine will beep.

7. To switch back to hot pouch laminating after cold laminating, press and hold the "Ready" LED. Wait until the ready light turns green to indicate it's ready for hot lamination before inserting pouch.

8. 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.
9. This unit is equipped with an Advanced Pouch Tracking System that will detect and alert the user if there is a mis-feed. If a jam is detected the machine will automatically reverse the document to help clear the jam. The reverse button will come on while auto-reverse is engaged. After this, if the jam is not completely cleared the Reverse button will blink/flash. Press and hold the reverse button while pulling on the pouch to completely remove the laminate from the machine. Once the jam is cleared the unit will return to normal operation.
10. Upon exit, the laminated pouch may be hot and soft. For the best quality and to prevent jamming remove the pouch immediately. Place the pouch on to a flat surface to cool. Take care when handling a hot pouch. Always remove laminated document before starting next laminate. For best performance/results, use the Exit Tray.
11. Turning off the Machine — If the top power button is pushed, the machine will go into cool-down mode. The heaters will turn off, but the rollers will still run until the unit reaches the desired temperature to turn off completely. This functionality reduces long term wear and tear to the unit.
