Stitch Distance
For Saddle Stitching
The “stitch distance” is the distance between the centers of the stitches. Set the stitch distance as listed below:
When top and bottom distance is 185mm (7.285") or more
- 79.1 to 92.0 (mm)
- 138.0 to 150.9 (mm)
- 234.0 to 246.0 (mm)
- 3.860” to 5.905”
If the top-to-bottom distance is less than 185mm (7.285")
- 79.1 to 80.9 (mm)
If the stitch distance is adjusted outside this range, skewing may occur because the stitch hits the fold knife, or the crooked trimming
may occur because the stitch hits the booklet stopper. If a value outside the normal range is entered, the value is shown in red and the
caution icons() are displayed.
On a machine set to measure in inches, you must set the stitch distance carefully so that the stitches do not hit
the fold knife or booklet stopper.
Stitch distance so that the stitch does not hit the fold knife
- 3.860” to 5.905”
Stitch distance so that the stitch does not hit the booklet stopper
- 3.115” to 3.185”

The jog error occurred. This error occurs when a booklet with folding only or a fed booklet
are not arranged properly. First, set the punch delay time longer. If this error occurs repeatedly, increase the number of jog. If the jog pusher mis-jogs, increase the jog pusher stroke.
Cause and Solution
Turn the Emergency Stop button to release it.
Close the cover.
Although a booklet was delivered from the upstream device, the sensor in the
entrance of the fore-edge section did not detect the booklet. If the booklet stopped
because the distance between the upper and lower infeed belts is too wide, reduce
the distance between the upper and lower infeed belts in the fore-edge trim section.
(Refer to Section 4-5.)

and clean the sensor.
A booklet is jammed in the fore-edge trim section. Remove the booklet. If a booklet is
not jammed, the sensor may be dirty. See Section 6-5-3 and clean the sensor.
A booklet may be transported diagonally in the fore-edge trim section. Check that
when using small booklets, the fore-edge trim unit is positioned toward the front as
instructed.
If the booklet is crooked when it hits the stopper, adjust the gap between the transport
belts. (Refer to Section 4-5.)
The distance between the transported booklets was too short. The booklet delivery
operation from the SPF-200A/200L is incorrect. The sheets may not be fed into the
fold section smoothly. Check if there are sheet strips remaining on the sheet path.
If there are no sheet strips remaining, increase the fold section top and bottom guide
stroke using the Binding-Status Setting-Fold/Fore-edge Trim/Conveyor screen.
If the problem occurs again, slow down the production speed.
Remove the sheets.
Refer to the user’s manual for TBC-200L.
