HeatSeal Sprint H925 - Lamination Tips for Optimum Performance TM® Selection of media/paper requirements The following is a guide to selecting the proper paper for this unit to perform at an optimum level. Before laminating important or unique documents always run a test document through the laminator using a similar media. If you find that your printed media is not compatible with the H925, try a different media and/or a different print engine.

• Certain finishes (levels of gloss), weights and ink compositions may require the user to feed single sheets into the laminator rather than stack loading. Size & finish/weight Size: The minimum width that can be fed through the H925 is 6” or 152 mm. Standard paper sizes that will automatically feed into the laminator are as follows: (leading edge into machine is indicated in bold) Finish/weight: As stated above, even standard media can change from time to time due to circumstances that cannot be controlled by GBC. It is always recommended that the user experiment with the media prior to loading a full run into the feed tray. The media range that will optimize performance of the feeder when stack loading is as follows*: Type Letter Legal Menu Size 11” x 8.5” 8.5” x 14” 11” x 17” Half-letter 8.5” x 5.5” Executive 10.5” x 7.25” Government legal 8.5” x 13 Type Government letter

Size 10.5” x 8.5” 297 x 210 mm 210 x 148 mm B5 250 x 176 mm F4 210 x 330 mm Media Standard copy/bond paper Cover stock Index stock Minimum Weight 20lb / 75gsm 28lb / 75gsm 42lb / 75gsm Maximum Weight 53lb / 203gsm 80lb / 216gsm 110lb / 203gsm Porous photo paper 20lb / 75gsm Up to 50lb / 200gsm Media such as double sided printed output, designer papers, card stocks, cover stocks, high gloss photo papers, glossy photo cards and others with specialized coatings should be fed into the laminator one sheet at a time to avoid mis-feeding or jamming the feeder mechanism. HeatSeal Sprint H925 - Lamination Tips for Optimum Performance TM® IMPORTANT: When laminating any media that is longer than letter/A4 in the landscape orientation, the exit tray MUST be folded back into the machine. Failure to do so will result in a jam caused by the finished media not having enough room to clear the rollers once laminated. The exit tray was designed to only stack letter/A4 and smaller media in the landscape orientation. Capacity of this tray varies based on overall thickness of media and film mil used. GBC recommends emptying the exit tray frequently. Loading Exit tray Before loading prints, fan sheets on all four sides. This creates a small layer of air between the sheets that will help the feeder mechanism by eliminating any blocking that may have occurred while the sheets were drying or while in storage. To maximize the film usage for letter/A4 stock, it is best to load the prints into the feeder tray with landscape orientation. For legal/A3 stock, the media must be loaded with portrait orientation. If your document is severely curled, or warped, it may pose a feeding problems for the H925 feeder. To minimize this potential issue you can try to eliminate the curl by rolling the media stack in reverse prior to loading the document. You may also try loading the document upside down or backwards. When loading a stack of prints, it is best to square off the bottom edge of the stack by lightly tapping the entire stack on a flat surface. Loading the feeder tray with the bottom of the stack squared will help eliminate mis-feeds. Ensure the paper side guides on the document feed tray are properly spaced to rest against the edges of the paper without compressing the stack. If paper side guides are not against the media, sheets can skew during lamination. Once media is loaded into the feeder tray, the lamination run must conclude before adding more prints. DO NOT add more pages to the feed tray while lamination job is in process. The film rolls will laminate more total pages per refill if the maximum width is utilized when loading media into the feed tray.16

HeatSeal Sprint H925 - Lamination Tips for Optimum Performance TM® Minimizing potential heat lines on media Depending on the ambient temperature, media type and film thickness the HeatSeal Sprint H925 may produce a heat line on the initial 3 to 5 sheets of output. Follow the below recommendation to minimize the likelihood of experiencing heat lines: Recommended morning start-up routine: Turn the main power switch to the “ON” position. Additional tips: Film thickness can make a difference and 1.7 mil film may produce more of a heat line than 3 mil or 5 mil films. If your machine has not been used for several hours, it may be “cold” again and the morning start-up routine is recommended to be repeated. Media and inks can make a difference and darker images or glossy papers may produce more of a heat line than other medias. For best results, do not operate this machine in an environment with an ambient temperature less than 72°F/22°C. Operating at a lower than normal room temperature, prevents the nip rollers from reaching the proper laminatingtemperature, resulting in faint heat lines across the finished sheet. Load two or three sheets of plain paper into the feed tray. Press the start button. Test one single sheet of your special media. Allow the machine to run the start-up sheets and stabilize its temperature for at least 5 minutes. If required, repeat steps 4 and 5 again until the heat line is no longer visible. HeatSeal Sprint H925 - Lamination Tips for Optimum Performance TM® IMPORTANT: When laminating media that has been 3 hole punched, load that media in with the holes down into the machine first. Failure to do so will result in mis-cut sheets due to the sensor picking up a hole as the end of the page. The composition and quality of any type of media/paper can change at any time. GBC cannot specify norguarantee the performance of any specific brand, type or manufacturer of media/paper. Even standard mediacan change from time to time due to circumstances that cannot be controlled by GBC. Successful lamination tips: Prior to use, media should be allowed to acclimate at least 48 hours in the environment in which it will be used. Optimum storage and operating environment is between 70°-80°F with 50% relative humidity. Upon completion of a lamination run, do not leave unlaminated media in the feeder tray. Media should be removed and stored in a way that it is stacked flat and in the proper environmental conditions. Always ensure that the media has the straightest possible path into the laminator. If laminating a longer length of media, it is not recommended that the media is draped over the back of the feeder tray, as this may cause the feeder to not pick the sheets properly. Allow ink on printed media to properly dry prior to lamination. DO NOT load any type of media that is creased, folded or not square into the feeder as this may cause the unit to jam.18
