3. Description
Cover Selector
The cover selector comprises a slot into which you
insert the set of papers to be bound, short side first.
A sensor measures the thickness of the set and the
recommended type of cover is then shown on the
display.
Display
The display shows what is happening in the machine.
A number of user functions can be selected using the
two control-buttons on the panel. (See also section 5
“User settings”.)
Input bay
Insert the set of papers into the selected cover. This is
now called a document (cover with a set of papers).
Now load the document into the input bay with the
spine downwards as shown on the label.
Terminology
In this manual and in the Quick Guide, the Coverbind
cover is referred to as cover and the set of papers
is referred to as the set. When the set is put into the
cover, this is referred to as a document.
When a number of documents are piled on each other,
this is referred to as a batch.
The machine consists of five main parts: Cover selector, Display, Input
bay, Binding unit, and Output tray.

If the binding machine stops for some reason, the
jam clearance door in the input bay can be pushed
aside and the document removed. (See also section 7
“Clearing and emptying”.)
Binding unit
The document is first jogged and then transported into
a heating zone where the glue in the cover melts. Then
the document passes through a cooling zone, and the
glue binds the pages together in the cover.
Output tray
The output tray moves outwards as the finished
documents are fed into it. An audible signal is heard
when the output bay is nearly full. A message is also
shown on the display which alerts the user to remove
the document from the output tray.
