How to laminate COATING

Check how many pouches you need and pay first. Then turn on the power, wait for it to warm up, and feed in the pouch. Always turn the power off when you're done.

🔎 Some stores have two kinds of laminators. Check which one your store has first.
👍 In stores that have both, please use the black PL-1506 laminator first.
The PL-1506 warms up faster and laminates faster.

Pressing the power button — power ON
Press the power button

Press the power button to turn it on. (power ON)

💡 Normal (default) state — the laminator is always plugged in, so the POWER red light keeps blinking and the READY green light also blinks. This is normal, not a breakdown.
3
Pressing the 문서 (Document) button
Press the [문서] (Document) button

Press the [문서] (Document) button to set Document mode.
When the [문서] button's red light blinks and the READY green light also blinks, warm-up has started.

4
While warming up, the READY green light blinks; after about 60 seconds it beeps and stops blinking
Wait for it to warm up

Warming up takes about 60 seconds.
After 60 seconds, you hear a "beep", and when the READY green light stops blinking and stays on, warm-up is done.
The red light by the [문서] button keeps blinking — that's normal. Don't put a pouch in while the READY green light is blinking.
