Operating Safety Precautions
WARNINGS for Operation
This machine must be operated by just one person at a time.
Work alone when you maintain and lubricate the machine. Letting someone else operate the
machine may cause severe personal injury.
Do not remove or bypass any safety features. Moving parts can cause severe personal
injury.
Some adjustments must be made with some of the machine covers opened.
Keep your hands and fingers outside of the safety cover and away from any moving parts
while the machine is running. Otherwise moving parts can cause severe personal injury.
The machine will not stop immediately if the Emergency Stop switch on an upstream device
is pressed. After all in-process booklets are delivered, the machine will stop.
Do not allow anyone else near the machine when you are moving the main section of the
SPF forwards or backwards.
When replacing the knife, wear gloves and do not touch the edge of the knife directly. The
knife is extremely sharp, and may cause severe personal injury.
Press the Emergency Stop button before turning the handwheel. A sudden accidental start
of the machine can cause severe personal injury.
Do not operate the fore-edge trim section separately from the SPF main unit.
CAUTIONS for Operation
After turning off the power switch, wait ten seconds before turning it on again. Otherwise, a
circuit board may be damaged.
The fold knife and roller may strike each other if the fold knife is lifted too far. Turn the fold
knife height adjustment knob in small amounts.
Remove the cable connected to the SPF main unit before moving the fore-edge trim section
away.
iii
WARNINGS for Maintenance
Turn off the power switch before beginning any maintenance operation. If the machine accidentally starts suddenly, this can cause severe personal injury.
Turn off the power switch before clearing a jam. If the machine accidentally starts suddenly,
this can cause severe personal injury.
When working inside the machine, be careful to keep your hands away from nearby parts.
Be sure to press the Emergency Stop button before opening the fold section cover. The
machine may start suddenly, causing severe personal injury.
Turn off the power switch before resetting a circuit breaker. Otherwise, the machine may
start suddenly, causing severe personal injury.
Fuse replacement must be done under the supervision of a maintenance administrator.
Turn off the power switch and unplug the power cable before replacing a fuse.
When the booklet thickness detector is installed, evacuate the laser unit.
Otherwise the sensor may be damaged.
CAUTIONS for Maintenance
Use the types of lubrication oil and grease which are recommended by HORIZON. Other oil
or grease may reduce the life of the machine or cause damage.
WARNINGS for Installation
Turn off the main power or circuit breaker in the factory before connecting the power cord to
the machine. High voltage electricity can cause severe personal injury.
CAUTIONS for Installation
Be sure to install the floor mounting plates to keep the machine level. Otherwise, vibration
may cause the machine to move. The binding quality may deteriorate, or the machine may
be damaged.
The SPF-200A ＋the FC-200A weigh about 720 kg (1590 lb). The SPF-200L ＋the FC-200L
weigh about 750 kg (1653 lb). Transport and install the machine safely, and keep the weight
of the unit in mind.
Install the machine correctly, referring to the installation manual or installation instructions in
the user’s manual before starting the machine. Otherwise, the binding quality cannot be
guaranteed.

Transport Pusher for
Paper Insertion (Option)
Transport Pusher
This pusher transports the flat
sheet when it is inserted into the
center page of a stitched booklet.
The sheet is pushed and transported by this pusher. The
pusher may be removed if there
are paper jams. (Remember to
re-install the pusher for normal
setups.)
The waiting position for the transport pusher can be adjusted using
the touch panel screen. Refer to page 25 for details.

Saddle Stitch Stopper
Install large or small stoppers to match the sheet
width. (The instruction screen is displayed on the
touch panel.)
Side Stitch Stopper
This stopper is used for side stitching and corner
stitching.
Top and Bottom Guides
- These guides jog the sheets from the top and bottom sides before stitching.
- The settings listed below can be done using the
touch panel.
- Jogging frequency before stitching
- Stroke (Guide opening when the sheet comes in)
- Delivery Stroke (Guide opening when the sheet
goes out)
- When you are doing corner stitching, these guides
are replaced by the corner stitch guide.
- This guide assembly consists of three parts. When
you are running small booklets, you may have to
remove these guides. (The instruction screen is
displayed on the touch panel.)
Side Stitch Sheet Hold-Down Plate
This plate prevents the sheets from floating.
Long type and short plates are available.
Guide Bar
This bar prevents the sheets from being bent
down. You must remove this bar before doing a
changeover. (The instruction screen is displayed
on the touch panel.)
Parallel Adjusting Bolt
This bolt is used as a gauge to adjust the
top-bottom guide so that it is parallel.

Wire Feeding
Detection Sensor
As the wire is feeding, the
wire guide bends down and
immediately returns to its
original position. This sensor
watches the movement of the
wire guide to see that the
wire is feeding properly. The
sensor is turned on (red LED
lights) when the wire guide is
bent down.
Clincher Lever
This allows you to remove a stitch which remains in
the clincher section.
Stitcher Head Drive Block
When one of these blocks is removed, the machine
does not make stitches on that side. The block on
the non-stitched side should be removed when you
are doing corner stitching. (The instruction screen
is displayed on the touch panel.)
Coil Brake
This brake prevents the coil from turning too easily and tangling
the wire. If the brake is pressed harder against the coil, it becomes
harder to turn the coil.
Stitch Angle Adjusting Knob
The stitch angle can be adjusted using this knob if one
stitch is not lined up.
Wire Coil
Standard wire is No.25 (0.5 mm in diameter)
Optional wire No.26 (0.45 mm in diameter) is
available.
Wire
Guide
Red LED
This lamp lights
when the sensor
detects the wire
guide.
There are circuit breakers inside this cover. See Section 6-10.
These holes allow for
installation of two
optional stitcher heads.
The positions of these
two stitchers are fixed.
Sheet Holder
This holder prevents the sheet from
floating. Long, short, and side stitching holders are available. Select the
holder to match the binding pattern
and sheet size. To change the holder,
loosen the locking knob. Set the
position of the holder to match
the thickness of the booklet.

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”
