EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - Telefon 9633 3500 Maintenance, Safeguards & Tips When properly used, the Xyron 2500 is relatively maintenance-free. Listed below are safeguards and tips that will produce better results. Refer to the exploded view diagram for part descriptions. Importance of a clean document: For best results when laminating, it is highly recommended that the document be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately prior to lamination. Small dust or lint particles may cause the laminate to "tent", producing an appearance similar to a small air bubble. Cut blade replacement and cleaning: The cut blade may accumulate adhesive over time. Cleaning the blade must be done with great care to avoid personal injury. To remove the blade, slide the orange blade holder into the notch and lift upwards. Carefully remove the blade holder and replace or clean with a light solvent such as isopropyl alcohol. Use after storage: For applications where the appearance of your laminated document is critical, it is highly recommended that the Xyron 2500 be used and stored in a clean, dust-free environment. Airborne dust particles and lint will tend to adhere to the bare adhesive inside the supply roll. If the machine has not been used for several days or was subject to a dusty environment, it is recommended that four inches (10cm) of material be advanced and discarded before inserting your document. It is also recommended that the feed tray is cleaned with a lint-free cloth. Contact your dealer about a dust cover as an accessory. Cleaning adhesive from the nip rollers: The nip rollers are designed to be self-cleaning under normal use. If adhesive does accumulate, it can normally be removed by first removing the supply films from between the nip rollers and advancing a scrap piece of regular bond paper through the machine. The bare adhesive will tend to attach to the paper. If this method of cleaning does not work, the nip rollers can be cleaned with a light solvent such as isopropyl alcohol. Take care not to scratch, cut or chip the rollers. For best results when laminating, it is critical that the lower idler bar be kept clean of adhesive build-up.

Feed Tray not installed correctly or supply roll not seated at base of groove in side plate(s). Verify tray is completely installed such that it is approximately level and square. Also, verify supply rolls are completely seated at base of grooves in side plate(s). Apply silicon lubricant to all surfaces of top blade bar. Reposition material between upper cut bar and lower guide. Clean adhesive from nip rollers if necessary. Clean adhesive buildup from blade using isopropyl alcohol or Xyron Adhesive Cleaner #990. Replace blade if necessary. Ensure paddle is pushed forward completely after document is loaded and aligned. Ensure document is extended approximately 1-2" (16mm) past edge of paddle before pushing paddle forward. Also, check that the leading edge of document is evenly adhered ("locked") to lower supply film by temporarily pulling paddle back after it has been completely pushed forward. Check paddle and tray for flatness. Prior to loading document, pull paddle back to "load" position. Ensure underside of paddle is clear of any obstruction or adhesive buildup. Verify supply rolls are firmly seated at base of grooves in side plates. Clean adhesive buildup from idler roller using isopropyl alcohol or Xyron Adhesive Cleaner #990. Cut Blade does not slide smoothly. Film does not exit machine between Upper and Lower Blade Bars. Cut Blade does not cut well. Upper Blade Bar sticking in side plate groove or blade sticking on Blade Bar. Material is curled or adhesive has been transferred to the Nip Roller causing the film to stick. Blade has accumulated adhesive buildup or is dull. Thin and/or wide documents tend to wrinkle during lamination. Paddle not operated correctly, or tray and/or paddle are not flat Document difficult to load. Paddle not pulled back to load position or has adhesive buildup on underside. Film wrinkles don't go away as crank is turned clockwise. Film does not lay flat, curls and/or wrinkles. Upper and/or lower supply roll(s) are not firmly seated in grooves within side plate(s). Adhesive buildup on lower idle bar.
