If the PowisPrint™ software does not detect the Fastback® in the
Design or Print Window, make sure the PowisPrinter™ and
Fastback® are properly aligned.
3. How to Bind Only (available only when docked to a binder)
Use this feature if you’ve printed a title, reviewed it, and now
simply want to bind your document with that strip. (If you prefer,
you can always bind the old-fashioned way, and feed your strip
directly to the binder.)
\a. First make sure your Fastback® is properly docked to the
PowisPrinter™.
b. Insert the book you want to bind into the Fastback®, and
press the green Bind button.
c. Now go to your PC, and open a Design Window. Type
something on the Design Window Binderstrip™ (it doesn’t
matter what you type—this is necessary only to open the
Print Window). Now press “Ask” to update the thickness to
the book in the binder.
d. Select Print from the File menu.
e. Press “Bind Only.”
f. Insert your strip in the PowisPrinter™, adhesive side up.
(Note there is no prompt to insert your strip.)
g. Press “Bind Only” again.
The printer now forwards the strip to the Fastback®, and the
binder binds your document with the strip you inserted.
C. Your Friend the Repeat Button
The Repeat Button allows you to title and bind a series of the
same-thickness books. For example, if you have twenty copies of a
manual to title and bind, use REPEAT. It makes the binding job
lots easier, and is quick, quick, quick. Keep in mind that the
REPEAT button is for multiple print-and-bind jobs only. If you
want to print and bind a single document, use PRINT & BIND; if
you want to print many strips of the same title, use PRINT. But if
you’ve got seven pamphlets to print and bind, REPEAT’s the
button for you.
Here’s how to take advantage of this nifty feature:
1. First make sure the printer and binder are docked.
2. Design your title.
