• Booklets exiting the SquareFold
®
Trimmer device can contain trim remnants or scraps from the
previously trimmed booklet. Static electricity causes this build-up and it is normal. If booklets
contain trim remnants, simply remove and discard them.
• The trim feature can be switched on or off. When the feature is on, you can adjust the trim setting
in 0.1 mm (0.0039 in.) increments depending on your requirements for the finished booklet job.
The trim options include the following:
•
Trimming On/Off
: Switch
On
/
Off
the Trimming feature. The default setting is
Off
.
•
Cut to Size
: Use the
Left/Right Arrow
buttons to decrease or increase the trimmer setting.
Adjustments are made in 0.1 mm (0.0039 in.) increments.
The trim setting is based on:
• The number of sheets in the finished booklet
• The finished booklet width size
• The media type (coated or uncoated)
• The media weight
Note:
Experiment with various settings to determine the best selections for your job. You may
want to run one or more test prints before running larger jobs for best booklet output.
Note:
Trim settings cannot be adjusted to remove less than 2 mm (0.078 in.) or more than 20
mm (0.787 in.) of edge material from the booklet. Adjustments less than 2 mm may produce
poor trim quality. Adjustments greater than 20 mm result in no trimming to the booklet edge.
