C. Exciting Printing Options
When docked, the PowisPrinter™ and a modified Fastback®
binder sense each other’s presence, which explains how you can
print and bind in one smooth operation.
1. Load the book into the binder and press the green BIND button
to activate the book clamps. (If you need help, follow steps 1–5 on
page 7 of the Fastback® Model 11 user’s manual, or steps 1–4 on
page 3 of the Fastback® Model 15 user’s manual.)
2. Now go to your PowisPrinter™ keyboard. Enter the text you wish
to print, and if desired, modify the font type, size, or style. Press
ENTER. The screen says:
Press PRINT or use zone keys in left
corner to add text to other zones
There are two methods of printing and binding a document when
the PowisPrinter™ is docked to a Fastback® binder. If you use
Method A, you can print and bind the strip in one operation.
Method B, on the other hand, allows you to print the strip, review
what it looks like, and then re-feed it to bind the document.
Method A: Quick ‘n’ Easy — Print and bind in one operation
3. Press the PRINT & BIND key to print the Binderstrip™. After
printing, it will be sent directly to the Fastback® binder for binding
(figure 12).
4. The keyboard display now tells you to insert the correct strip size:
INSERT N/M/W STRIP
NOTE:
N/M/W = NARROW OR MEDIUM OR WIDE
When you insert the correct width Binderstrip™ into the Feed
Entry (figure 2), make sure that:
• The Binderstrip™ is adhesive side up
• The Binderstrip™ is fed straight into the machine
• You are feeding only one strip (sometimes they stick together
in the box)
• The Binderstrip™ width matches the width the printer has
requested
• The Binderstrip™ is clean and no Binderstrip™ fragments are
attached
5. The PowisPrinter™ now prints on the Binderstrip™, and ejects it
directly to the Fastback® binder for binding.
6. When the binder’s book clamps open, remove the bound
document and place it spine down in the Cooling Rack. Allow it to
cool for five to seven minutes.
