1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not use flammable sprays or solvent inside or near the unit (e.g. when cleaning the
unit).
Such flammable gas or solvent may ignite and cause a fire or combustion.
Make sure that the combined power consumption of the appliances to be connected
does not exceed the capacity rating of the power outlets or plug receptacles. Exceeding
the capacity rating could cause the power outlets, plug receptacles, or power extension
cords to overheat and catch a fire.
Remove any dust that accumulates on the power plug prongs and the surface of the plug
from which the prongs extend. Accumulated dust could result in a fire.
If any foreign object such as metal or liquid should enter this unit, immediately turn the
unit off at the power switch and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Failure
to do so could result in a fire or an electrical shock. Contact your dealer immediately.
Do not damage the power cord or power plug. (Do not scratch, alter, bend, twist, pull or
place heavy objects on the power cord or power plug.)
This could result in damage, a fire or an electrical shock.
Always grip the plug when disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet. Forcibly
pulling on the power cord could cause damage, resulting in a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not touch the power plug or power switch with wet hands. This could result in an
electrical shock.
Before cleaning this unit, turn the unit off at the power switch and disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet. Accidental operation of the unit during cleaning could result
in injury.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet when the unit is not to be used
for an extended period. Failure to do so could result in fire due to leakage current if the
insulation should deteriorate.
Install this unit on a level, stable stand or floor, with sufficient space around it. Failure to
do so could result in the unit overturning and causing injury.
Do not install this unit in a location where there is excessive humidity or where contact
with water is possible. Poor choice of location could result in deterioration of the
insulation, fire or electrical shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before attempting to move this unit.
Failure to do so could result in power cord damage, fire or electrical shock.

5. PREPARING FOR OPERATION
❊ Size change
Size change is the process of returning guides to their standard points once, and then moving them to the positions set
according to the settings of the memory number selected. Pressing the [Size Change key] changes the size.
This process is required after the power is turned on, and after the memory number is changed. When the message display
shows “Perform paper size change” and the [Size Change key] blinks, size change is also required. Normally, the stitcher
will not return to its standard point.
But pressing the [Size Change key] while pressing the [Clear key] returns the stitcher to its standard position and moves it
to the set position.
Pressing the [Size Change key] while pressing numerical key 0 only returns all guides to their standard positions.
NoteNote
While “Perform paper size change” is displayed, this machine will not operate.
❊ Processed number display
Counts up the number of sets normally processed. The display can be reset to 0 using the [Processed number clear key].
The count is reset to 0 when the power is turned off.
❊ Starting/stopping processing
Pressing the [Start key] of this machine or the upstream machine starts processing. Pressing the [Stop key] ejects all
paper being processed, after which this machine stops. If an error occurs during processing, this machine will stop according
to the situation. If an error of the emergency stop switch, top cover, or shutter occurs during processing, the machine will
also stop immediately.
❊ Step-ejection
Pressing the [Jog key] binds paper left in the machine and ejects them.
Perform the following procedure using the [Jog key].
1. This machine will keep running while the [Jog key] is held down.
2. When the [Jog key] is released, paper inside the machine will to be stitched or folded, and move to next step. The
machine will then wait for the next jog key operation.
When paper jams inside the machine, a paper jam message appears and the machine stops. However, visually check the
machine because the machine will stop due to paper jam without displaying the paper jam message in some cases. In
such cases, open the top cover and remove the paper.
3. When conveyance is being carried out continuously, press the [Jog key] several time to execute stitching or folding, and
eject the processed sets.
16
If paper is forcibly ejected by the upstream unit, this machine will also perform conveyance motion.
NoteNote
The paper will stop at the stitching area but this machine will not advance the paper fed.
Open the top cover and remove the paper conveyed to this machine.

❊ Aligning the paper passage lines
After preparing this machine for binding operations, check
that the paper passage line is aligned to that of the
upstream unit.
When paper conveyed from the upstream unit is conveyed
to this machine, check that there is even space between
the left and right side joggers and paper.
If not even, adjust the position of this machine to avoid
paper jams.
Move this machine at other fine adjustment screens of the
fine adjustment menu, until the space becomes even.

Refer to page 60.)
❊ Stitching range
5. PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Saddle stitching
Stitching is carried out at the positions indicated by the
pointer.
Normally, stitching is done at two positions.
This can be increased to four positions by factory
*
options.
When paper is more than 140 mm/5.51 inch wide, the
standard stitching width is determined by the ratio of 1:2:1.
Stitching width is the center to center distance between
the two stitches. However, if the stitching position lies
inside the stitch prohibited area, it will be set at a position
avoiding this area.
For example, if the paper width is 240 mm/9.45 inch,
stitching is carried out at the 60 mm/2.36 inch and 180 mm
/7.09 inch positions from the paper edge.
