The Booklet Maker MX-BMX1, Trimmer MX-TMX1, Book Folder MX-FDX2 and Cover Feeder
MX-CFX1 forms a booklet making system that works online with the Copier.
The print-outs from the Copier are collected in the nisher and then transported into the
MX-BMX1 Booklet Maker to the staple area. From the MX-CFX1 Cover Feeder (optional),
if present, any type of covers, colored or black and whites, can be added to the printed set.
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 MX-TMX1 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 MX-TMX1 Trimmer is installed to the MX-BMX1 Booklet Maker, you can
can attach the MX-FDX2 Book Folder (optional). The printouts, which have been stapled,
folded and trimmed will be fed into the MX-FDX2. The MX-FDX2 will atten the spine of the
booklet square. The booklets will, after passing the MX-FDX2, have the look of a perfect
bound book. The booklets are then fed out to the Belt Stacker.
To facilitate undocking, a MX-BMX1 Rail unit (optional) can be installed under the Booklet
Maker. Undocked or off-line, the Booklet Maker can be used as a stand-alone unit for hand
feeding.

The MX-BMX1 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.

6. Troubleshooting
Fault codes
General
When there is a misfeed or fault condition in the booklet maker system, a message will
be displayed on the Booklet Maker. In case there is a problem that can be rectied by the
operator, a fault code and an explanation will be displayed.
Fault codes that can be rectied by the operator:
Booklet Maker: BM-201 to BM-212, BM-220, BM-401 and BM-502
Trimmer: TM-201 to TM-205, TM-401 and TM-503
Cover Feeder: CF-201 to CF-205, CF-401, CF-501 and CF-502
Book Folder: SF-201 to SF-206.
BM-201 to BM-210 indicates “Clear Misfeed(s)” in the Booklet maker
BM-211 indicates that the set is too thick to be folded

CF-401 indicates “Out of covers” when there is no more
cover sheets in the Cover feeder. How to clear,
see Cover feeder fault codes
CF-501 indicates “Cover low” when the Cover feeder is
almost out of Covers. How to clear, see Cover feeder
fault codes
CF-502 indicates that there is a format mismatch between the
cover sheets and the sheets sent from the copier.

Note
If procedures in this manual do not rectify the problem an authorized technician will be
needed.

General fault codes
Clear Misfeed(s)
Close cover(s)
In general, fault codes indicate a misfeed condition.
When a misfeed occurs, the message “Clear Misfeed(s)”,
a code and the jam area will be displayed. See section
5. Clearing Misfeeds, for how to clear a misfeed.
6
When the message “Close Cover(s)” is displayed any
of the interlock switches are actuated.
Check that the top cover is in down position.

Booklet maker fault codes
Check staples
This message will be displayed when a staple cartridge is empty or when stapling could not
be performed. Check in the following order:
– If a staple cartridge is empty, replace according to section 1. Basics.
– If staple cartridges are OK; remove the set and check that the number of sheets is within
specications.
– If staple cartridges are OK and set is within specications; remove and check stapler head
according to section 1. Basics.
Set too thick
This message will be displayed when the set sent from the copier is outside Booklet Maker
specications. Open the top cover, remove the set and close the top cover.
Oil clinchers
This message will be displayed every 20 000 stapling cycles. The purpose is to remind the
operator to maintain stapler head and clinchers. If not doing that every 20 000 there is a great
risk of a costly mechanical breakdown. See section Maintaining Your Machines on page 52
for procedure.
6
Remove purged sets
This message will be displayed when the purged set is in the infeed area. Open the top cover,
remove the set and close the top cover.
Illegal feed mode
If this message is displayed, contact customer support.
Stacker full
This message will be displayed when the Stacker is full. Empty Stacker.
Trimmer fault codes
Note
During poor environmental conditions waste from the trimming operation may be transported
through the system.
To improve the situation the trim margin may be increased and thereby ensuring that
The waste is transported into the waste bin.
51
6
Trim bin full
This message will be displayed when the trim bin is full or when a trim strip, due to static
electricity, is prevented from falling down into the trim bin. Empty the trim bin and remove loose
trim strips from inside the Trimmer. See section 1. Basics for how to remove the trim bin.
Close trimmer belts

Double feed
This message will be displayed when the Cover Feeder detects that more than one cover
was fed from the cover bin. If more than one cover was fed, check cover loading according to
section 2. Making Booklets. If the covers that are fed are thick, with dark print or with mixed
prints on the covers, double feeding may be displayed even if that is not the case. Turn off
double sheet detection according to section 3. Tools.

Cover Feeder
Cleaning feed rollers and paper separator pad
The Feed rollers 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, or double feeds, is one indication of the need to clean
the Feed Rollers.
Remove the feed roller assembly by pressing it to the front of unit (A). The left end of the
feed roller assembly will now be released (B) and the assembly can be removed.
Clean the Feed rollers and the Paper separator pad with water and a clean lint free
cloth.
