To improve the readability of texts in User Interfaces of operator panels and software,
the finishers are generally referred to by their function. The table below shows the naming
conventions for finishers (commercial product names and the way these are referred to
in User Interfaces).
Note:
In some cases, there is only 1 name for several modules. The reason is that a configuration

Types of paper that can be used
Introduction
Use the appropriate paper to get the best results from the binder. If the wrong type of
paper is used, it could cause defect in binding or paper jams.
This machine can use the following types of paper for perfect binding.
Note:
All of the available paper in the printer can go through the pass-through transfer section.
Note:
Do not use the cover that contains images or text in the bonded part. It may cause defect
in a binding, since they impede adhesion of the glue.
Note:
If the paper size is not registered in the printer, be sure to use it after registering in the
printer as an irregular paper size.
Types of paper that can be used
Note:
If the position of the images or text on the body pages or the slip sheets is crooked, the
bound booklets will be poorly finished with uneven thickness. To produce nicely finished
booklets keep the position of the images and text on the body pages and slip sheets
centered.
Caution:
Do not use the curled paper. Using curled paper may cause defect in binding or paper
jams.

Finished sizes of booklets
Finished sizes of booklets
Introduction
This machine can bind various sizes of booklets.
The sizes of the finished booklets differ according to the cutting method. The following
table shows relations between sizes of the finished booklets and sizes of cover and body
pages / slip sheets.
Be sure to confirm the cutting range is within the available ranges shown below.
Top/bottom cutting range is the total of top cutting range and bottom cutting range.
therefore, half the value of top/bottom cutting range is equal to each value of the top
range and the bottom range.
Top/bottom cutting range (C1): 13 to 79 mm (0.52" to 3.11")
Foredge cutting range (C2): 6.5 to 49.5 mm (0.26" to 1.94")
Booklet thickness (D): less than 25 mm (1")
Caution:
Be sure to use paper that is less than 297 mm (11.69") wide when cutting in one direction
or when not cutting.
Caution:
The edges of bound booklets may be folded when binding booklets with covers that are
larger than the body pages if cutting is not done.
Caution:
Use body pages and slip sheets that are the same size.
Caution:
The top/bottom cutting range of this machine is 13 to 79 mm (0.52" to 3.11"), and the
foredge cutting range is 6.5 to 49.5 mm (0.26" to 1.94") ( (you can also adjust +/- 1 mm
(0.04") for the top/bottom, and +/- 0.5 mm (0.02") for the foredge by finishing size fine
adjustment). If the finished sizes of booklets set on the printer or printer driver go over
the cutting range of this machine, the cutting will not operate correctly. Be sure to adjust
the printer's cutting range within the available value of this machine.
You can also adjust the width (W) in the range of ± 1 mm (± 0.04"), and length (L) in
the range of ± 0.5 mm (0.02") by finishing size fine adjustment.
*2
If the length (L) defined as 1, be sure to set the ration of the width (W) between 1.25
and 1.5.
*3
Be sure to make the width of W1 (width of body pages / slip sheets) less than the width
of W2 (width of cover), when 3-direction cutting is done.
*4
For good looking finished booklets, the maximum length of cover you can set is 487.7
mm (19.2"). 487.7 mm (19.2") includes the total of the following values.
Length of body pages / slip sheets x 2, maximum booklet thickness (25 mm [1"]), and
maximum value of cover image placement adjustment (5 mm [0.2"]).

Reduce frequent paper jams or errors
Introduction
Frequent paper jams, errors or defect in binding such as follow can mean that paper is
curled or paper weight is out of available range for this machine.
•
Defect in attaching the glue.
•
Unequal cutting size.
•
Folded bonding area in corner of inserted paper.
If paper jams, errors or defect in binding occur frequently, refer to the instructions described below to confirm paper curl and perform the curl correction, or see ‘Specifications’
on page 76 to confirm available paper weight of this machine. Also before performing
perfect binding, we recommend you to check the curl state of the used paper.

Lower (1) : 0 mm to -10 mm (0"
to -0.4")
•
Length of curl (2): More than 50
mm (2")
Note:
If downward curl is measured, it may cause incorrect
value since the curl is negated. Be sure to measure upward curl.

If the curl state of paper exceeds
specified value, adjust the curl correction to make it an appropriate range.
You can adjust the curl correction for
a specific paper in the Settings Editor, section 'Media management',
option 'Printer adjustment'.
