SquareFold Trimmer User Guide 1

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

Overview

The SquareFold Trimmer Module:

Receives the booklet from the booklet maker area of the finisher, Flattens the booklet spine, thereby reducing the booklets 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.

Introduction

SquareFold Trimmer Module

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 placement on the booklet page must be done either from the machines UI or from your print driver.

Note 2: You may want to run one or more test prints/copies before running larger jobs.

The booklet leaves the booklet area of the finisher and enters SquareFold Trimmer Module.

Once the booklet spine reaches the square fold area, the booklet is clamped and the square-folding operation begins.

The booklet is flattened and the spine squared according to the square-fold setting indicated on the control panel.

For detailed information on each of Square Fold settings, refer to page 6.

After the booklet is flattened and the spine squared, it is moved to the trimmer area.

The booklet then moves to the exit area where it is transported to the Booklet Output Tray.
