To open your Scotch laminator, based on the provided reference, you are likely referring to opening the feeder tray. The feeder tray is the part where you insert the documents to be laminated.
The video snippet demonstrates the process of opening this specific part of the laminator using a simple mechanism.
Opening the Feeder Tray
The feeder tray needs to be opened to properly feed documents and pouches into the laminating rollers. This allows you to prepare the machine for use.
Step-by-Step Process
Follow these steps to open the feeder tray:
- Locate the Pull Tap: Find the "little pull tap" located on the feeder tray itself. This is the handle or latch designed for opening the tray.
- Pull to Open: Use the pull tap to lift and open the feeder tray upwards. The tray should pivot up, exposing the area where you insert your document.
- Adjust Width: Once the tray is open, you can adjust the width guides to match the size of the pouch or document you are laminating.
This method allows you to prepare the laminator for use by getting the feeder area ready for your items.
Closing the Feeder Tray
When you are finished laminating, or when the machine is not in use, you should close the feeder tray. The reference shows the closing process is straightforward:
- Lower the Tray: Gently lower the open feeder tray back down into its closed position.
- Secure: Ensure it is fully lowered and secure.
By using the "little pull tap" to lift the feeder tray, you effectively "open" the Scotch laminator in the sense of preparing its input area for operation.
