Reference
You can specify the paper weight of body sets and covers available in Perfect Binder PB-503 .
The minimum/maximum number of sheets to be bound in perfect binding can be changed according to the
paper weight of body set.
The machine can be set to detect the thickness of body set and to stop the binding operation temporarily if
the cover width to be used is unsuitable for the body set.
For details, see Section 7 of the POD Administrator's Reference.
8.8.1 Turning On/Off the Heater of the Perfect Binder
The Perfect Binder PB-503 has an inner heater to add heat to glue pellets for making perfect-bound books.
It requires approximately 20 minutes of warmup time to melt the pellets to be ready for the operation.
Adding heat continuously to glue pellets, however, may deteriorate them if the Perfect Binder PB-503 is kept
unoperated.
