2.1 General safety notes
Caution!
Please, read these notes with care.
Save these instructions for later use.
All notes and warnings found on the machine are to be followed.
Important! The machine must be installed on a suitably strong
surface. The machine is very heavy and must not be installed on a
lightweight desk or surface.
The machine may only be connected to a voltage of 115V/60 Hz.
The mains plug may only be connected with a socket having an installed
protective contact. The protective effect will be compromised by the use of
an extension line without a protective grounding conductor. All interruptions
of the protective grounding conductor, within or outside of the machine,
are prohibited. The device is double pole fused! When fuse failure occurs,
electrical machine parts can still carry voltage. When making the connection
to the mains power, be aware of the connection values on the nameplate.
Inspect the voltage setting on the device’s power input. Run the power cable
so that no-one may trip over them. Do not place any objects upon the power
cable. When the machine is not in use over a long period of time, it should be
disconnected from the power supply. In this way, damage would be prevented
in the event of excess voltage. Protect the device from moisture. When
moisture enters the machine, there is the danger of electrical shock. Never
open the machine except the operator covers. For reasons of electrical safety,
the machine may only be opened by authorized Service Agents.
Never reach into the machine when it is running! This could only occur if a
safety interlock were to fail.
The danger of injuries exists, through pulling in and crushing on the rotating
rollers. In addition, keep long hair and parts of loose clothing far from the
machine in operation. If a safety interlock fails, your Service Agent must
be contacted immediately!
In order to prevent damage to the machine, only factory authorized accessory
parts should be used.
Prior to cleaning the exterior of the machine, it should be disconnected from
the power supply. When cleaning the machine, do not use liquid or spray
cleaners, but only a cloth dampened with water.
When cleaning sensors use onlynon-ammableairdusters,eg.partnumber
E0070A.Othertypesmayuseammablepropellants,whichcouldresultinre
or explosion.
When excess toner can be seen building up on the sealer rollers, hand feeding
cleaner sheets, Part No. 810779, will remove the buildup.
In the following cases, the mains plug must be unplugged and the device left
for the authorized Service Agents:
• Whenthemainscableorplugiswornordamaged.
• Whenwaterorotherliquidhasenteredthedevice.
• Whenthedevicedoesnotfunctionproperly,inspiteof
following the instructions provided.
• Whenthedevicehasfallendownorthehousingis
damaged.
• Whentherearenoticeabledifferencesinthenormal
operation of the machine.

2.2 End of Life
The objectives of the European Community’s environment policy are, in particular, to pre-
serve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and uti-
lise natural resources prudently and rationally. That policy is based on the precautionary
principle and principles that preventive action should be taken, that environmental damage
shouldasapriorityberectiedatsource.
Separate collection of waste is the precondition to ensure reuse and recycling of waste that
is generated at the disposal of electrical or electronic equipment and is necessary to achieve
the chosen level of protection of human health and the environment in the European Com-
munity.
More particularly, certain materials and components of waste electrical and electronic equip-
ment needs selective treatment as their injudicious handling or disposing of on or into land,
water or air would represent a major threat to the environment and human health.
In order to facilitate collection and treatment separated from normal domestic waste, elec-
trical and electronic equipment is marked with the following logo:
Do not mix with normal domestic waste.
Please use the subjoined return or
collection system dedicated to electrical
and electronical waste.
Equipment produced after August 13
2005
Not only are you by law not allowed to dispose of the waste equipment via other waste-
streams, but we encourage you to actively contribute to the success of such collection and
to the common good and better quality of life of present and future generations.

4. MACHINE LAYOUT GUIDE
4.1 Description of machine
The function of the LM-5.5 Pressure Sealer
is to feed unfolded forms from a stack, fold
them either once or twice, seal the cohesive
edges and place them into a receiving tray.
Forms can be ‘C’, ‘Z’ or ‘V’ in standard fold,
or Eccentric ‘Z’, and also ‘C’ or ‘Z’ fold with
pressure seal return envelope. There is also a
handfeed facility to seal pre-folded forms; this
feature may also be used to seal a diverted
form. The output rate of the machine is 5500
pieces per hour.
Each time the machine is switched on it will
calibrate for double documents. Subsequently,
if more than one form is fed (eg. two together),
these will be diverted out of the slot at the rear
of the machine before reaching the sealing roll-
ers. The form used for calibration will also be
diverted in this way (which allows checking of
folds and ensures that only a single document
was fed). A calibration button on the control
panel is also provide to allow calibration to be
performed at any time, such as if the paper
size changes.
A jog function is provided, which operates the
machine in short ‘spurts’ in order to help clear
jammed forms through the paper path. A jam-
clearance lever is also included for stubborn
jams. A fault number (in the form ‘FLt nn’)
will appear on the control panel, and this will
be accompanied by a message describing the
fault, the description of which will be shown
scrolling on the display. These faults are also
shown in Section 14 of this document.
The display also indicates the forms count
when the machine is running, and the counter
may be reset to zero at any time, eg. when
starting a new job. Note that if the button is
pressed by mistake, the count can be recalled
by pressing the button again.

9. DOUBLE DOCUMENT CALIBRATION
Eachtimethemachineisrun,itwillautomaticallycalibratetherstformtomeasureits
size and thickness. Thereafter, if two forms are fed at the same time, they will be ejected
through the slot below fold plate 2 before reaching the sealing rollers.
If the paper size or weight is changed without switching off, it is advisable to use the cali-
bration button to calibrate again, as shown below.
3. The machine is now ready for use and need not be calibrated again unless the size or
thickness of the form used is changed. If a double document subsequently occurs, it will be
ejected in the same manner, folded but unsealed. Note: if the document does not feed, and
the fault ‘FLt14’ appears, the doubles sensor is dirty or defective. Until this is remedied, only
Handfeed mode can be used (see below).
10. handfeed
If required the machine can operate in manual mode, allowing, for example a single or small
number of documents to be processed without setting up the rest of the machine. This func-
tion may also be used for sealing diverted forms.
IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to handfeed forms if the machine is running.
1. Ensure that the hopper tray is loaded (see section 8.1).
2. Press the calibration button
on the control panel. A single folded
document will be ejected below fold
plate 2. Remove it and check that it
consists of only one sheet. If OK, it
can be sealed using Handfeed (see
section 10 below).
Ejected document slot
1. Pre-fold the document by hand to the re-
quired fold lengths (see section 8.2.4 for fold
options), or remove the diverted form from
the slot below fold plate 2.
2. With the machine switched
on but not running, insert the
folded document, with crease
forwards into the slot in front of
fold plate 1. Ensure it is fully
inserted. The message 'hFEEd'
will appear on the display. Press
the Run button to feed the
document.
3. Repeat as often as required.

11. operator maintenance
After a long period of use, dirt and toner can build up on the fold and seal rollers, and dust
can cause the sensors to become obscured. This will need to be cleaned off to ensure reli-
able operation.
11.1 Cleaning the Fold and Seal Rollers
Fold Rollers
The rubber fold rollers should be cleaned using a lint-free cloth and Rubber Roller Restorer
9103796V. Be sure the machine is disconnected from the power source rst. To gain
access, press the button on top of the machine and open the cover. Clean the full width of
the rollers, rotating them as you do so.
Front Seal Rollers
There are four seal rollers, two at the
front of the machine, and two at the
rear – only the two front and upper rear
can be accessed for cleaning. The front
rollers are accessed by operating the
latch shown to open the front cover. Clean
the full width of the roller. Now replace
the covers, reconnect the machine and
use the jog function (see section 11.3) to
increment the rollers. Disconnect, and raise
the covers to clean the rollers again. Repeat
this until the rollers are fully cleaned. The
rear lower roller can be accessed by reach-
ing in below the rollers from the front.
Instead of using the jog function,
the rollers can also be rotated by
using the jam lever inserted in the
hole in the top roller. See also sec-
tion 11.3.
