Adjust the Stitch Pitch
Introduction
The stitch pitch is the space between the stitches. The machine automatically
calculates the stitch pitch according to the size of the paper and the number of
stitches. The stitches are inserted symmetrically on the spine of the book.
If a non-standard stitch pitch is needed, use
STITCH PITCH
to make the adjust-
ment.
Limitations:
• The minimum stitch pitch ‘A’ is 25mm.
• The minimum distance from the centre of the stitch to the edge of the sheet
‘B’ is 15mm.
When to do
If you need the PowerSquare to insert the stitches in a non-standard position.
For example, to keep the stitches away from the text on the spine of the book.
