Binding

  • Put the pile of pagestogether with the cover intothe binding slot with the spine facing down
  • As indicated on the machine, soft covers slide to the right and hard covers to the left. The corresponding light will change from green into red and you will hear short signal – the process of thermal binding has just started.
  • After suitable for the kind of binding (hard or soft) time there will be intermittent green light and a beep indicating that the process of binding is finished. The beeping noise will carry on until you take out your bound document from the binding slot.
  • The machine enables you to bind two documents at the same time in soft and hard cover. The need of taking out one of the documents is signaled by sound and change of light colour of corresponding light.

  • In order to secure the document even more after taking out of the binding slot press the spine with your hands.Be careful!!! The cover spine can be hot!
  • Cooled document needs to be folded along the cover. It will be easier to open the document.
