2. How to Print a Title and Bind in One Incredible Step (available
only when docked to a binder)
a. First make sure your Fastback® is properly docked to the
PowisPrinter™.
b. Insert the book you want to bind into the Fastback®.
c. Press the green Bind button on your Fastback®.
d. Now go to your PC, and create your title.
e. When ready, go to the File menu and select Print, or press
the small print icon in the Design Window.
f. In the Print Window, press “Print & Bind.”
g. Compare the Design Window information to that in the
Fastback® Information box. If the book in the binder is not
the same thickness as the title you’ve designed, the amber light
in the Fastback® Status box illuminates. Just below it, a
message appears in the “Other” box: “Book thickness
mismatch. Press Ask & Update button, Select Print again.”
If you press the Ask & Update button in the
Fastback® box, the PC automatically updates your design to
match the book in the binder. It then returns to the Design
Window so you can see your updated strip design. To return
to the Print Window, select Print from the File menu. The
Design Window and Fastback® Information boxes should
now match, so you can press “Print & Bind.”
(If you do not wish to match your title design to the thickness
of the book in the binder, ignore the mismatch message and
press “Print.” You won’t be able to print and bind in one step,
but the printer will print the title design according to the
specifications in the Design Window, ignoring the thickness of
the book in the binder.)
h. When prompted, insert the appropriate width strip into
the PowisPrinter™, adhesive side up.
i. Watch the PowisPrinter™ Status box for the status of the
print job. When the printing has completed, the printer sends
the strip to the binder. The Fastback® Status box now
reflects its activity.
j. Watch your Fastback® to see when the job has completed.
k. Press “OK” to exit the Print Window. (Note: You don’t
have to wait until the binding is complete to exit the Print
Window. You may close the Print Window as soon as the
PowisPrinter™ has ejected the strip.)
