3. Press the Print icon in the Design Window, or go to File
Print.
4. Put your first book in the binder, and press the green Bind
button. You must have a clamped book in the binder to activate
REPEAT.
5. In the computer’s Print Window, make sure the Design
Window and the Fastback® Information boxes match. If they
don’t, press Ask & Update to update your design to match the
book in the binder. Once you have reviewed your updated title in
the Design Window, press the Print icon to return to the Print
Window.
6. In the Print Window, press REPEAT. (If REPEAT is grayed out,
make sure the binder and printer are properly aligned.)
7. A box appears (Figure 3), asking how many times you want to
repeat the print-and-bind job. Enter a number directly in the box,
or use the up and down arrow keys to change it. You can repeat
a job up to 200 times.
8. Press OK.
9. When prompted, insert a strip into the printer.
10. The printer prints the strip, then forwards it to the binder for
binding. Once the binder has accepted the strip, insert another
strip into the printer.
11. While your next strip is printing, remove the bound book
from the binder and place it in a cooling rack.
12. Insert your next book into the binder, and press the green
Bind button to clamp it.
13. The printer now forwards the next strip to the binder. The
printer always makes sure the binder is ready before forwarding a
printed strip. Say you inserted a strip, and it printed, but you
haven’t removed the last bound book from the binder. The
printer will wait until you remove the completed book and clamp
the new one before sending the strip to the binder. This prevents
jammed strips, books with multiple strips, and general chaos.
Repeat this process until you have finished your entire job. If you
lose track of how many strips you’ve printed, check the top of the
Print Window. It tells you how many strips remain, and lets you
know when the job is finished.
REMINDER:
REPEAT only works on same-thickness books. During
a Repeat cycle, if you put a book in the binder of a significantly different
thickness, the Repeat cycle ends and a message appears on your
computer screen. This safety feature prevents errors, and requires you
to restart REPEAT to continue with the correct book.
