GBC 620os
Operation Manual
PRE-INSTALLATION
Before a 620os Laminator can be installed, ensure the
following requirements are met:
1. Are doorways and hallways wide enough for the
laminator to be moved to the installation site?
2. Is there ample room for the laminator?
•
A work area must be established that allows
for operation in both the front and rear of the
laminator and provides space for efficient
material flow.
3. Is the environment appropriate for the laminator?
•
The laminator requires a clean, dust and vapor
free environment to operate properly.
•
Avoid locating the laminator near sources of
heat or cold. Avoid locating the laminator in
the direct path of forced, heated or cooled air.
CAUTION: Air flow can cause uneven
heating / cooling of the rollers and result in
poor output quality.
4. Have you contacted a certified electrician to wire
the receptacle and ensure that adequate power is
being supplied, having the appropriate capacity,
over current protection and safety lockouts
available?
GBC 620os Requires:
•
•
•
220V at 60Hz with 20 Amps single phase.
Nema 6-15 P 15 A 250 V Receptacle
A Buck Booster may be needed if voltage is
not correct.
Please contact
a
licensed
electrician to install if needed.
This Machine is supplied with a Nema 6-15 male
Plug.
INSTALLATION
1. Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the delivering carrier.
2. With assistance, carefully roll the laminator into position over flat and even surfaces.
3. The laminator should be positioned to allow exiting film to flow freely to the floor or a work table. Accumulation of
laminate immediately behind the laminator as it exits the equipment may cause the film to wrap around the pull rollers,
resulting in a “jammed” condition.
4. Avoid locating the laminator near sources of heat or cold. Avoid locating the laminator in the direct path of forced,
heated or cooled air.
5. Once the laminator has been properly positioned, lock the castors in place. Locking the castors prevent the machine
from rolling during set up, operation or servicing.
6. Connect the attachment plug provided with the laminator to a suitably grounded outlet. Avoid connecting other
equipment to the same branch circuit to which the laminator is connected, as this may result in nuisance tripping of
circuit breakers or blowing fuses.
Note:
Machine must be leveled to ensure best performance. Level the machine by lowering both the main and pull rollers.
Lay a level on top of the main and pull rolls. Then, check level from main roll to pull roll on right and left side of the
roll. Finally, check by placing the level diagonally across lower main to lower pull rolls.

LOADING FILM & THREADING FILM
STEP 5:
•
Attach the end of the Threading Card to the
activated film. The Top Main Roller must be
hot to activate the adhesive to ensure that the
Threading Card sticks. (Figure 5).
•
Replace the Safety Shield and lock in the Safety
Shield’s Safety Interlocks.
STEP 6:
•
While pressing “LOADING”, push another sheet
into the nip area under the sheet you just tacked
to the film. (Figure 6).
•
•
Continue holding down “LOADING” until the
first sheet enters the Burst Rollers while feeding
additional sheets.
Figure5
Once the first sheet exits the Burst Rollers,
release “LOADING”.
STEP 7:
•
Verify that the “Threading Card” and images are
traveling over the Decurling Bar. (Figure 7).
Monitor the amount of curl of the finished
laminated images. Adjust the Decurling Bar
Knob to increase or decrease the amount of curl
desired.
•
•
Press “START”
When the green LED is illuminated, place
another image onto the Feed Belts and guide it
into the Feed Gate. The Feed Gate will
automatically activate according to sheet size and
open, allowing the image to be entered into the
nip.

•
When the green LED is illuminated, place
another image onto the Feed Belts and guide it
into the Feed Gate.
STEP 8:
•
Set the In-Line Perforator Wheel on the very
outer edge of the image but still making contact
with the film. Make any adjustments needed to
ensure the Perforator Wheel is penetrating the
film, leaving small holes in the film. Verify that
the gray wheel is off the image. (Figure 8&8A).

STEP 9:
•
Place the Prelaminating Film Perforator Wheel
on the edge of the Supply Roll of film. Verify
that the Prelaminating Film Perforator Wheel
is penetrating the film, leaving small holes in the
film. Not necessary for all films. (Figure 9).
STEP 10:
•
Set the Skew Wheel as shown in figure 10. The
angle and position of the Skew Wheel will
determine how much of a “tent” is present. For
proper “snapping” or “separation” of the images,
a small “tent” is needed as shown in figure 10.
Figure 9
STEP 11:
•
At this point, the Bursting Location can be
determined by referencing the decal shown in
Figure 12.
•
Watch the images as they pass through the Pull
Rollers and into the Burst Rollers. When
determining the location of the “Burst”, the
overlap should be past the In-Line Perforator
Wheel but before the Skew Wheel.
•
•
Match up that location with the Decal in Figure
12. Observe the number value that represents the
location you want start snapping. Ex. 620.
Press “BURST”, (Figure 11) and then use the
Master Dial to dial in the desired value. Ex 610.
The numeric value on the Main LCD will change
as you rotate the Master Dial.
Figure 10
•
•
At this point, activate the Burst Rollers by
pressing BURST ON/OFF.
Ensure that the sheets are being separated by the
Burst Rollers. If more speed is needed for
bursting, press BURST SPEED. This will
increase the Burst Rollers, which gives you
better sheet separation.

The Burst Roller can be adjusted up or down
determining weather more or less pressure is
needed for “Bursting”. Start by lowering the
roller by using the Burst Roller Knob until there
is about ½ to 1 inch of roll contact. (Figure 13).
•
If the images are not separating, lower the Burst
Roller a little until consistent separation is
achieved.
STEP 13:
•
Adjust the Paper Guides on the Rear Table so
that the separated sheets fall onto the Rear Table
and stay in a pile.

SLITTING FILM
Slitting Film:
You always want to use film that is narrower than the
sheets being laminated, so sometimes it may be necessary
to slit the film. If the film is wider than the sheet being
laminated, start the threading process with sheets wider
than the film.
Rewinder Tube
In-Line Slitters
•
•
Load the film on the machine and web it up per
the above procedure. Refer to the Loading Film
and Threading section. NOTE: Use non-printed
sheets that are wider than the film.
Tension Adjustment Knob
After the machine has been webbed up, set the
Side Slitter to a width that is narrower than the
sheets to be laminated.
Figure 15
•
•
•
•
Engage the Side Slitter by pushing down the
lever. (Figure 16).
Set the Motor Speed to 1 and start feeding sheets
into the laminator.
Grasp the piece of film that is to be separated
from the web and snap it right at the Heat Roller.
Guide the slit film up to the Rewinder Tube and
secure it to the Tube with a piece of tape.
(Figure 17).
•
Adjust the rewind tension so that there is just
enough tension for the Rewinder Tube to rotate.
NOTE: Do not overly tension the Rewinder as
this will make removal of the excess film from
the tube difficult.

SPEED / TEMPERATURE CONTROL
This is only a general reference guide. Different settings may be suitable as the warm up time, lamination time and materials
change.
Factors that may affect the speed and temperature parameters;
1. Image length
2. Image width.
3. Ink coverage
4. Paper type
5. Laminate thickness
6. Operating environment
7. Condition of the rollers
8. Line voltage (effects heaters)
9. Using cooling features.
You may have to adjust temperature or speed depending on stock finish, thickness *Turn heat off when not in use.
Recommended Starting Guide:
•
OPP—NAP II Adhesive (8300 Film) / 220*F-240*F. NOTE: Can not be used with prints that contain high
concentrations of silicone fuser oil.
•
Digital Lay Flat/ 260*F-280*F. NOTE: To be used with prints that contain high concentrations of silicone fuser
oil. Not recommended to exceed speeds of 36ft/mn with such prints.
THE ART OF LAMINATION
BASIC RULES
•
•
Do not attempt to laminate abrasive or metal Objects such as staples, paper clips and glitter, as they may damage the
heat or pull rollers.
Do not force items into the nip area of the heat rollers. An item that is not easily drawn into the laminator by the heat
rollers is probably too thick to laminate.
•
•
Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to reposition an item once it has been grasped by the heat rollers.
Do not stop the laminator before an item has completely exited the pull rollers. Even a momentary stop will cause a
mark (heat line) on the laminated item.
Good, consistent lamination is a result of combining proper heat, tension and dwell time. Dwell time is controlled by the speed of
the motor and is defined as the amount of time the material to be laminated is compressed between the heat rollers.
As a general rule, thicker items and film need to run at slower speeds because they extract more heat from the rollers at a quicker
rate. Setting the speed control at slower settings gives the laminator longer dwell time thus allowing proper lamination of thick
items. Thinner items, such as standard copier paper (20 lb. bond), extract less heat from the rollers and can be run at faster speeds.
FILM TENSION
Proper film tension, known as brake tension, is the minimum amount required to eliminate wrinkles in the finished item. The film
should be taut. A properly adjusted roll of film should not require excessive force to turn by hand.
Film tension should be enough to introduce a minor amount of drag as the film unrolls. Insufficient tension causes wrinkles,
while too much tension causes stretching (necking).

MAINTENANCE
Caring For the GBC 620os Laminator
GBC offers Cleaning kits as well as Extended Maintenance Agreements.
Contact your local GBC Service Representative or your dealer/distributor for additional information. The only maintenance required by the
operator is to periodically clean the heat rollers and schedule semi annual maintenance checks. The following procedure will help keep the heat
rollers free of adhesive that has been deposited along the edge of the laminating film. Proper alignment of the rolls of film reduces the amount of
“squeeze out”.
WARNING: Do not attempt to laminate adhesives marked “Flammable”.
Do not laminate glitter and/ or metallic items. Damage to the rollers may result.
WARNING: Do not apply any cleaning fluids or solvents to the rollers. Some solvents and fluids could ignite on heated
rollers.
Never clean rollers with sharp or pointed objects.
Hardened adhesive deposits on the rollers can cause damage to the rollers. Rotate the rollers at the lowest speed
setting on the control panel.
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED WHILE THE LAMINATOR IS HOT. USE EXTREME
CAUTION.
1.
Remove the film from the laminator following the Procedure outlined in steps 1 through 6 of the section entitled TO UNWEB THE
LAMINATOR.
