What You Can Do With This Machine

SQF 200 SquareFolder (option)
FTR 200 Trimmer (option)
Belt Stacker
The Booklet Maker BM 200, Trimmer FTR 200 and SquareFolder SQF 200 forms a booklet
making system that works online with a collator or ofine/online for hand feeding.
The print-outs from the Copier are collected in the nisher and then transported into the BM
200 Booklet Maker to the staple area. The Booklet Maker now jogs and then staples the set.
The set is then transported further to the folding area where the set is folded into a booklet and
then fed out to the belt stacker. When a larger number of sheets are folded an effect called creeping occurs. In order to rectify creep, the FTR 200 Trimmer (optional) can be attached after the Booklet Maker. The booklets are then transported from the Booklet Maker into the
Trimmer where the trail edge will be cut off. If a FTR 200 Trimmer is installed to the BM 200
Booklet Maker, you can attach the SQF 200 SquareFolder (optional). The printouts, which
have been stapled, folded and trimmed will be fed into the SQF 200. The SQF 200 will atten
the spine of the booklet square. The booklets will, after passing the SQF 200, have the look of a perfect bound book. The booklets are then fed out to the Belt Stacker.
To facilitate hand feeding, the BM 200 is equipped with a sliding top cover. The Booklet Maker
can also be used as a stand-alone unit for hand feeding.
BM 200 Booklet Maker

The BM 200 Booklet making system is controlled from a single control panel on the Booklet
Maker. The control panel has only four buttons which will allow you to easily set up, adjust and operate the complete system.
The buttons are multi functional, meaning that the
function of each button depends on the information displayed. For example: Pressing button 3 from the Ready screen takes you to the Tools screen.
Example 2: In this screen, button 3 has no function.
Button: 1 2 3 4
Button: 1 2 3 4
Example 3: Pressing button 3 here will load the stored
Job (4).
Example 4: In this screen pressing button 3 will save the current settings for job No 1. The asterisk on the
rst row shows that the settings for Job (1) has been
changed, but not yet saved.

Cleaning feed belts
The Feed belts need to be cleaned regularly when in use, and if the unit has not been used for a period of time. How often this should be done, depends on the paper type and print quality. An increasing number of misfeeds is one indication of the need to clean the Feed belts. Clean the feed belts with water and a lint free cloth.
Open the top cover.
Clean the upper feed belts (A). The upper feed belts can easily be rotated in either direction.
7
Lift up the upper feed belts to access the lower feed belts.
Clean the lower feed belts (B). Rotate the lower feed belts towards the outfeed side for complete cleaning.
Place the upper feed belts in normal position.
