What You Can Do With This Machine
The RCT 30, Booklet Maker BM30, Trimmer TR30, Square Folder SQF30 and Cover
Feeder (CF300) forms a booklet making system that works online with the Printer.
The print-outs are transported through the RCT 30 (optional) prior to entering the Booklet
Maker. The RCT 30 is able to rotate small(er) sheets from long edge feed to short edge feed,
to increase printer productivity. In order to avoid color prints to break or dissolve at the spine
after folding, the Creaser can prepare the cover sheet for that.The Bleed Trimmer trims the
long sides of the sheets to shape the print-outs to the desired format. After that, the print-outs
are transported into the stapler area and compiled. From the CF30 Cover Feeder (optional),
if present, any type of covers, colored or black and whites, can be added to the printed set.
The Booklet Maker now jogs and then staples the set. The set is then transported further to
the folding area where the set is folded into a booklet and then fed out to the belt stacker.
When a larger number of sheets are folded an effect called creeping occurs. In order to rectify
creep, the TR30 Trimmer (optional) can be attached after the Booklet Maker. The booklets
are then transported from the Booklet Maker into the Trimmer where the trail edge will be
cut off. If a TR30 Trimmer is installed to the BM30 Booklet Maker, you can attach the SQF30
Square Folder (optional). The printouts, which have been stapled, folded and trimmed will
be fed into the SQF30. The SQF30 will flatten the spine of the booklet square. The booklets
will, after passing the SQF30, have the look of a perfect bound book. The booklets are then
fed out to the Belt Stacker. Undocked or off-line, the Booklet Maker can be used as a stand-
alone unit for hand feeding.
