SquareFold Trimmer Module

Overview

The SquareFold Trimmer Module is an optional finishing
device that is used in conjunction with another optional
finishing device that contains a booklet maker.

The SquareFold Trimmer Module:

Receives the booklet from the booklet maker area of the •
finisher,
Flattens the booklet spine, thereby reducing the •
booklet’s thickness and giving it the appearance of a
perfect-bound book, and
Trims/cuts away the face (edge) of the booklet, •
resulting in a neat finished edge.

Tip: Always refer to the Hints and Tips section of this manual
before using the SquareFold Trimmer Module. The Hints and
Tips section provides valuable information about setting up
your jobs, which in turn ensures the best possible output for
your print/copy jobs.

Note 1: The booklet is assembled and stapled in the booklet
area of the finisher; therefore, the booklet enters the
SquareFold Trimmer Module already assembled. Any

adjustments to the image of the original and its

lacement on the booklet page must be done either from

the machine’s UI or from your print driver.

Note 2: You may want to run one or more test prints/copies

before running larger jobs.
