PREPARATION TO WORK
Unpack the machine and install the metal bail on the housing (the adequate holes are drilled in the housing and screwed bolts). Screw the arm (1) to the machine using the allen wrench attached. In the shelves at the bottom of the machine there are two guide&bind bar and B and debinding wedge. Three bars are included to the machine: magnetic guiding bar (1) - with magnet, allows to insert the documentation into the channel easily, guide&bind bar (8) thin - with a ruler, to be used with 20-32 size channels, helps to insert the document into the channel, guide&bind bar (9) thick - with a ruler, to be used with 5-16 size channels, allows to place the document into the channel and reduces the size of the binding slot. The shape of bars is specially designed to make inserting the documentation in the channel as easy as possible. Put the magnetic guiding bar (7) on the movable binding jaw and insert the guide&bind bar (8/9) by the back wall of the binding slot (3). The cut side of each bar should be directed to the inside of the binding slot (3). The machine is ready to work.

BINDING
Important! If you are going to use Atlas 300 to bind and hot stamp on the same cover, re­member to hot stamp an inscription first and then bind the document. Therefore, in such case, before binding refer to the user`s guide of Image Press device (on the following pages of this manual) to make the hot stamping.
1. Use the device (6) to choose the proper channel size (when measuring the thickness use only sheets without covers). The channel sizes and corresponding number of pages you can bind with them are shown in the table.
Atlas 300 Mono • User’s guide
Important! The thickness of the documentation to be bound must be at least 1,8 mm (with the cover). If the documentation is thinner, it is necessary to use the filling strips (e.g. O.Filling Sticky available from OPUS) to make it thick enough.
2. Make sure the binding bars are correctly inserted into the binding slot (3) (see:prepara­tion to work).
Important!
• for 5-16 mm channels - insert a thick guide&bind bar (9) by the back wall of the binding slot
• for 20-32 mm channels - insert a thin guide&bind bar (8) by the back wall of the binding slot
3. Set the bail so that the cover is parallel to the debinding plate.
4. Lift the arm (1) maximally up.
5. Move the adjusting handle (2) maximally to the left
6. Insert the channel in-between the bars (7 and 8/9). If using A4 format, move the chan­nel maximally to the right, close to the side limiter (10). In case of a duct smaller than A4, apply a movable limiter (dependent on insert used, apply an adequate 11(9) or 11(8) limiter). The position of movable limiter can be determined by means of a scale on insert (position = half of duct length).
7. Move the adjusting handle (2) to the right until you feel the resistance.
8. Even a pile of paper, put it between the covers; check if the pages are centered in rela­tion to the edges of covers.
9. Put the documentation into the channel.
• If using A4 format, move the documentation maximally to the right, close to the side limiter (10). Make sure the pages are placed in-between the channel incisions (except for 5mm O.CHANNELS and all O.SIMPLE CHANNELS which do not have incisions)
Note! Make sure the back cover is placed in front of you.
10.Press the arm (1) down holding the documentation at the same time and then lift the arm (1) up.
11. Move the adjusting handle (2) to the left to take out the bound documentation.

The bound documentation must have thickness of at least 1,8 mm (without cover). If the documentation is thinner, it is obligatory to use filling strips (e.g. O•Filling Sticky available at OPUS), to increase the thickness of bound documents. When using covers up to 16 mm size (C), put before binding both binding inserts A1 and B1 to the binding slot and when using covers with size over 16 mm, put only one B1 insert into the binding slot. Depending on amount of inserts used during binding, position of the bow can be appro­priately adjusted. If in the binding slot there is only one B1 insert, the bow should be moved to the front end position, in case of binding by means of two inserts A1 and B1 the bow (5) should be moved to the back end position.

PREPARING THE FONTS
1. Put the frame on the holder; compose a required text by putting suitable fonts into the frame.
Note! The fonts should be put in and taken
out by means of special pliers. The ends of the pliers should be inserted into the holes in the fonts.
The holes enable to distinguish between the top and the bottom of a font. The bottom hole of a font is larger or located closer to the edge (3.2 mm and 4 mm high fonts, because of their small measurements, have only marker at the bottom).

PREPARING THE MATRIX
You can order a special, customized matrix (O.Matrix) from OPUS, made according to your own design. You can also use your own matrix, however, in this case you need to use also a spe­cial tape (O.Mounting Tape) and a plate (O.Matrix base).
Important! The available stamping area of the matrix is max. 13 cm
Important! If the frame/fonts were pre­viously used or located in the device, wait for 5-10 until they cool down. DANGER OF BURN!
2. Lock the text in the frame by means of the stops.
3. Put the frame (with the fonts in) on the heaterl of the Image Press.
Important! Do not touch the heater when putting the frame - DANGER OF BURN!
4. Wait for 1-2 minutes until the fonts are hot.

Wait until the led “READY” lights. That means that the required temperature is achieved and the machine is ready to work.
Important! The best results for hot stamping when using Opus supplies (hot stamping foil and cov­ers) are obtained with the set heater temperature of 100ºC. However, if the stamping re­sults are not satisfactory, a change in the settings may be necessary. In such case turn the temperature regulator right (to increase the temperature) or left (in order to decrease the temperature).

3. Put the base with a matrix on it into O.Frame Matrix GP.
Note! In case of customized matrixes only O.Frame Matrix GP can be used.
4. Put the frame on the back wall of the Image Press (see: point 3
- section “Preparing the fonts”).
Note! The heating time of a matrix depends on its size and can vary from few to tens of minutes. Therefore it is necessary to conduct a test to check if the matrix is hot enough.

HOT STAMPING ON COVERS
1. Put the front cover into the binding slot. Make sure it is placed upside down.
2. Put the piece of hot stamping foil between the cover and the frame.
Note! Use the magnet to fix the foil to the Image Press and avoid slipping down of the foil.
3. Move the adjusting handle (2) to the right (until you feel the resistance) holding the cover at the same time.
4. Press the arm (1) down holding the cover at the same time.
5. Lift the arm (1), move the handle (2) to the left.
6. Take the cover out of the binding slot, take off the foil.
Note! If hot stamping is uneven You can adjust the heater ver­tical or horizontal. To do this, use Allen wrench - size 2.
a) Horizontal heater inclination adjustment - if the pressure is big-
ger on the right side, the screw need to be rotated to the left (see the picture). However, If the pressure is bigger on the left side, the screw need to be rotated to the right
b) Vertical heater inclination adjustment - if the pressure is big-
ger in the upper side, the screw need to be rotated in to the right side (see the picture). However, if the pressure is bigger on the bottom side, the screw need to be rotated to the left

HOT STAMPING ON CD/DVD
CDcover Base IP (available as additional equipment) enables to hot stamp on CDcover cases using Atlas 300. All those are available from Opus.
1. Put the CDcover Base IP inside the CDcover. Two different com­positions, depending on the area where you want to hot stamp, are possible:
rower edge of the base (A) down
wider edge of the base (B) down
the case is always on the right)
plastic part of the CDcover case (where CD or DVD is inserted)
Note! The adjustment screws (c) allow to regulate the position of hot stamped text:
• by turning the screws (c) clockwise the text line moves closer to the bottom edge of the channel
• by turning the screws (c) counter-clock­wise the text line moves closer to the upper edge of the channel
4. There is possibility of hot stamping on the ends of O.Channel. Move the channel left or right on changeable part (b). Before it, de­tach side limiter (10) by unscrewing it with wrench allen key attached to Atlas 300.

2. Insert the CDcover Base IP (with the CDcover) into the binding slot of the Atlas 300 IMAGE machine. Depending on the kind of CDcover move the base:
• maximally to the right , if hot stamping on CDcover with the margin
• maximally to the left, if hot stamping on CDcover without the margin
3. Follow the same steps as in case of hot
foil
stamping on standard covers.
Important! The Image Press device con­tains a heating element. Therefore if it is disassembled right after using, make sure that the surface you are going to place the device on will not be destroyed. For this reason, we recommend to keep the device on the hooks until it cools down.
