The Laminator is positioned at the front left corner of the  
Duplicator. The optional Duplicator XL/Pro Laminator Stand  
is needed for both of these configurations. The stand is shown  
here:  
STAND-ALONE MODE  
The Automated Stand-Alone Mode allows you to connect the  
Laminator to the Duplicator XL or DuplicatorPro without  
connecting either the Duplicator or Laminator to a PC. This  
mode is used when you simply want to load the Duplicator  
with 100 printed discs and laminate them unattended. The  
Laminator will take the place of a printer in this configuration.  
Stand-Alone Mode is set up as follows:  
1. Laminate a few discs in Stand-Alone configuration as  
described in the Laminator User's Manual to ensure the  
Laminator is configured to properly laminate your discs.  
2. If present, remove the Printer Stand and Printer from the  
back of the Duplicator.
