BINDING A DOCUMENT
WITH HALFBACK™ COVERS
VIII
1 . Switch to HALFBACK mode (see Section VII, page 16) . If the
machine is already in HALFBACK mode, the display will read:
“READY TO BIND” … “HALFBACK .”
2 . Select your Halfback cover according to your document thickness:
10 - 100 sheets = Narrow Halfback
101 - 200 sheet = Medium Halfback
(This may vary slightly depending on the paper and cover thickness .)
•
HINT:
If you are not sure which Halfback width to use, simply
place your document in the binding recess and push the BIND
button . The correct width will be shown on the display .
•
NOTE:
You can add a custom inkjet-printed design or title to
the front and spine of your Halfback cover . Follow the instructions
included in your Halfback box .
3 . Form your Halfback front cover into an “L” shape, by folding it along
the score mark closest to the cover edge . Make sure adhesive side
faces inward. Place the document pages on the short flap so they
are sitting on the un-melted adhesive . Put the back cover in place
(figure 12).
4. Tamp your document cover and pages on the front flat surface
of the housing so that they are straight . Place your assembled
document into the binding recess and slide it all the way to the right
(figure 13). Tap the document on the top and the left to ensure all
pages are even .
5. Push the pages backward to ensure proper binding (figure 14).
Check that the document edge aligns with the edge of the Halfback
cover .
6. Press the BIND button (figure 15). The binding process will begin.
7. As soon as the display flashes “REMOVE BOOK,” pick up the
document and place it against a cooling fence (figure 16). Let it cool
for five minutes.
•
NOTE:
Stopping the binding process: During the first several
seconds of the binding cycle, you can push the OPEN button (the
orange button closest to the front) to abort the whole process
and open the document clamps . Use a new binding strip when the
process resumes .
•
NOTE:
For proper binding results, the Halfback spine flap must not
be too curled prior to insertion in the binder . Flatten the spine by
hand if necessary .
