[ISLMA-Share] Laminator issues--help! Any suggestions????

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Let your machine cool.
Remove the rolls - cut any that are still threaded so you have loose film
in the machine
Toggle back and forth forward and backward to see if that dislodges the
film.

After cutting off their work, we always have people run an additional inch
of film and put 3 bulldog clips on it to prevent film from rolling back in
on itself. Our service person also suggested taping a few dryer sheets to
the back of the machine (where ours outputs) to prevent the static that
causes that.

Good luck!
