Operational Best Practices
• Use the side guides on the hand feeding table to make sure that the book enters centred
into the machine;
• Make sure to have the correct settings for thin or thick booklet: thin booklet is thinner than
1.3 mm (0.051”) and equals approximately to 6 sheets 80 g/m (see section 2 of this manual:
“Booklet size” for more information about this);
• Recommended square fold interval, minimum number of sheets:
• 64 GSM = 9 sheets,
• 80 GSM = 6 sheets,
• 90 GSM = 5 sheets,
• 120-140 GSM = 4 sheets,
• 200-220 GSM = 3 sheets,
• 280-350 GSM = 2 sheets.
• If average squarefold result is not satisfying, please see section 4 of this manual: “Square
Folder Fine Adjustment”;
• Minimum trim for each cut is 1 mm, but to avoid trim waist on the stacked booklets
recommended minimum trim would be 2 mm;
• Be cautious when using side trim. Please notice the position of the staples and set head
and foot trims so that the staples are not cut;
• Wen using lower GSM <80 GSM use a thicker cover to get an improved square fold result.
