Abstract
A laminating apparatus is provided in which the distance between a pair of paper feed rollers and a pair of pinch rollers is adjusted according to the size of the paper or item being laminated and the diameter of sheet rolls between which the paper or item is laminated. The adjustment is synchronized so that the paper sizes and sheet roll diameters are accounted for at once according to the insertion of a detachable housing providing a cassette accommodating different paper sizes. A depression portion on the housing permits the paper feed rollers to adjust to or from the pinch rollers when the selected housing is inserted to the laminating apparatus.
