This code locks the machine when a cover is not recognized as a CoLibri cover. 

Call our service department for help. You may contact our toll free support line: 1-877-265-4274 or email 20info@colibriusa.com" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">info@colibriusa.com.

You can check the heat setting on the machine. Call our service department for help.

Most likely it will need a new wire for the motor to raise the head up and down or the machine might need a new motor. You can call our service department to arrange for repairs. 

If you are trying to cut the cover and it's being pulled there might be plastic residue on the roller. You can turn the machine over carefully and try to clean the roller using a soft cloth with alcohol to remove plastic residue.  Then rub the roller bar with a paper towel.  If this doesn't fix the problem call our service department. 

That depends on the use of the books.  Generally the 3.5 mil thickness will last 2-3 years under normal conditions. The 4.7 mil covers can last 3-5 years. Like anything covers can be abused and might have to be replaced sooner. 

Absolutely not! The CoLibri covers are acid free and have no harsh or toxic chemicals. They do not stick to the books. The covers can be removed anytime and replaced with a new cover without any damage to the book.  Unlike other brands there is no need for adhesives or tape and the covers do not stick to the book. 

No worries. The CoLibri covers are recyclable. Just take the old covers or the excess scraps and put them in the recycle bin and that's it.

To keep your CoLibri machine maintained for efficiency, follow these helpful tips. They are simple and quick procedures for prolonging the life of your CoLibri machine. 

CAUTION!

After many cuts the rubber roller may become dusty and slippery.  When this occurs, the CoLibri machine can't separate the plastic waste. 

Place the machine vertically. Get rubbing alcohol, a cloth and a paper towel.

Using the alcohol-moistened cloth, wipe the rubber roller along the surface.

Then, vigorously rub the roller with the paper towel so that paper dust is deposited to ensure a greater friction and a better grip. 

CAUTION:

By accessing the "Menu Setting" it's possible to set the temperature of the weld(page 29-User Manual)

This can solve two major problems:

1: The machine can't separate the plastic waste.

Try Raising the weld temperature at least 1 level

2: The machine leaves too many filaments

Try lowering the weld temperature at least 1 level
