1. Introduction
1.7.1 Book Size Chart
The physical parts of a book are defined as fol-
lows and will be referenced as such throughout
this manual. Book dimensions are referenced
as (spine length) X (top or bottom edge length).
Spine:
The edge of a book where the pages
are bound together.
Top edge:
Also known as the head, the top
edge is the edge of the book that is facing away
from the reader.
Bottom edge:
Also known as the foot, the bot-
tom edge is the edge of the book that is facing
toward the reader.
Face:
The face or fore-edge is the edge of the
book from which it is opened.
Book block:
A book block is the printed and
collated form of a book that does not include the
cover. It contains all front and end matter as
well as the text block.
Untrimmed book:
An untrimmed book is a
book block that has been bound with a cover but
has not yet been trimmed to finish size.
Trimmed book:
A trimmed book has been
bound and trimmed to a finish size.
Figure 1-2 can be used to determine if a specific
book layout can be trimmed using the CMT-330.
From Figure 1-2, see that (
x
) is the bottom trim
and (
h
) is the height (or spine length) of the
book. The book size must fall within the shaded
region of the chart but never exactly on the
sloped line.
The CMT-330 software will not allow a book to
be cut outside this range. The operator should
be aware of these size constraints before books
are printed. The CMT-330 will not allow only
one top or bottom edge to be trimmed.
