Before You Begin

Before You Begin

Paper and Book Quality Instructions

■

The size of paper and the thickness of the set must be measured. These 
measurements are entered via the touch screen before you begin a print job.

■

Measure the size of the printed paper. The paper dimension changes when the 
paper is printed. 

■

Measure the set thickness as accurately as possible. Use the measuring tool 
supplied with the machine.

■

Enter accurate dimensions via the touch screen.

■

If the book is made from several different types of paper, make sure the different 
paper types are all the same size.

See 

Book Quality on page 63
