1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always observe the cautions and warnings given below to prevent personal injury or property
damage.
The degree of danger and damage that could occur is indicated on two levels by the
following marks.

WARNING: Ignoring this mark could result in the possibility of serious injury
or even death.
CAUTION: Ignoring this mark could result in the possibility of injury or
physical damage.
The following graphic symbols indicate the various types of action to be performed
or avoided.

This graphic symbol indicates a forbidden action.


means “Do not disassemble.”
means “Do not touch.”
This graphic symbol indicates actions that must be performed.
means “Disconnect the power plug.”

WARNING:
Do not place metal objects or vessels containing liquids on top of the unit. The entry of
any metal object or liquid could result in a fire or an electrical shock.

Do not insert any metal or easily-combustible object inside this unit. This could result in
a fire or an electrical shock.

Do not touch or insert foreign objects into any rotating part during operation. This could
result in injury.

Do not remove the cover or back panel. This unit contains high-voltage components that
could cause an electrical shock.

Do not disassemble, modify or repair this unit. There is a danger of fire, electrical shock
or injury. Contact your dealer when repairs are necessary.

Use only the power supply voltage specified on the main nameplate. Using other
voltages could result in a fire or an electrical shock.

Keep this unit and the power cord away from heaters and heater vents. Excessive heat
could melt the cover or power cord covering, and result in a fire or an electrical shock.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not use flammable sprays or solvent inside or near the unit (e.g. when cleaning the
unit).
Such flammable gas or solvent may ignite and cause a fire or combustion.

Make sure that the combined power consumption of the appliances to be connected
does not exceed the capacity rating of the power outlets or plug receptacles. Exceeding
the capacity rating could cause the power outlets, plug receptacles, or power extension
cords to overheat and catch a fire.

Remove any dust that accumulates on the power plug prongs and the surface of the plug
from which the prongs extend. Accumulated dust could result in a fire.

If any foreign object such as metal or liquid should enter this unit, immediately turn the
unit off at the power switch and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Failure
to do so could result in a fire or an electrical shock. Contact your dealer immediately.

Do not damage the power cord or power plug. (Do not scratch, alter, bend, twist, pull or
place heavy objects on the power cord or power plug.)
This could result in damage, a fire or an electrical shock.

Always grip the plug when disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet. Forcibly
pulling on the power cord could cause damage, resulting in a fire or an electrical shock.

Do not touch the power plug or power switch with wet hands. This could result in an
electrical shock.

Before cleaning this unit, turn the unit off at the power switch and disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet. Accidental operation of the unit during cleaning could result
in injury.

Each memory number can be overwritten.


Register the 12 settings usually used for convenience.
Select the memory number of the binding mode to be used, change the size and begin binding. ( Refer to page 16.)
Memory No. 1 to 12 can also be set so that settings are not overwritten. ( Refer to page 55.)

 About Memory No. 0


Use Memory No. 0 to set a binding mode that is slightly different from the current settings just only for this time.
The settings set at Memory No. 0 cannot be saved.
Select a memory number from Memory No. 1 to 12, and change the size. Then select Memory No. 0. The same settings as
the memory number for which size was changed will be displayed.
Press the [Setting key] on the touch panel, and change the binding mode using Memory No. 0.
Press the [Return key] on the touch panel to confirm the settings of Memory No. 0.
Change the size again to proceed with the binding work.

Settings of the previously selected memory number are not updated so that the original settings can be selected again.

5. PREPARING FOR BINDING

❊ Size change
Size change is the process of returning guides to their standard points once, and then moving them to the positions set
according to the settings of the memory number selected. Pressing the [Size Change key] changes the size.
This process is required after the power is turned on, and after the memory number is changed. When the message display
shows “Perform paper size change” and the [Size Change key] blinks, size change is also required. Normally, the stitcher
will not return to its standard point.
But pressing the [Size Change key] while pressing the [Clear key] returns the stitcher to its standard position and moves it
to the set position.

While “Perform paper size change” is displayed, this machine will not operate.
Note

❊ Processed number display


Counts up the number of sets normally processed. The display can be reset to 0 using the [Processed number clear key].
The count is reset to 0 when the power is turned off.

❊ Starting/stopping processing
Pressing the [Start key] of this machine or the upstream machine starts processing. Pressing the [Stop key] ejects all
paper being processed, after which this machine stops. If an error occurs during processing, this machine will stop according
to the situation. If an error of the emergency stop switch, top cover, or shutter occurs during processing, the machine will
also stop immediately.

❊ Step-ejection
Pressing the [Jog key] binds paper left in the machine and ejects them.
Perform the following procedure using the [Jog key].
1. This machine will keep running while the [Jog key] is held down.
2. When the [Jog key] is released, paper inside the machine will to be stitched or folded, and move to next step. The
machine will then wait for the next jog key operation.
When paper jams inside the machine, a paper jam message appears and the machine stops. However, visually check the
machine because the machine will stop due to paper jam without displaying the paper jam message in some cases. In
such cases, open the top cover and remove the paper.
3. When conveyance is being carried out continuously, press the [Jog key] several time to execute stitching or folding, and
eject the processed sets.

If paper is forcibly ejected by the upstream unit, this machine will also perform conveyance motion.
Note The paper will stop at the stitching area but this machine will not advance the paper fed.
Open the top cover and remove the paper conveyed to this machine.

5. PREPARING FOR BINDING

❊ Aligning the paper passage lines


After preparing this machine for binding operations, check
that the paper passage line is aligned to that of the
upstream unit.
When paper conveyed from the upstream unit is conveyed
to this machine, check that there is even space between Side jogger Side jogger
the left and right side joggers and paper.
If not even, adjust the position of this machine to avoid
paper jams.
Move this machine at other fine adjustment screens of the Paper
fine adjustment menu, until the space becomes even.

area. ( Refer to page 51.)
 Folding misalignment may also occur if the folding side
guides are set too narrow or wide.
Perform adjustments in the step mode again, and
check the position of the folding side guides.

 If the booklet rides onto the folding side guide or jams,
gradually increase the value of “stitching side jogger

However, paper may jam at the stitching section if too
many sheets of paper are fed.
 Adjust the position of the folding back guide roller.
Loosen the locknut, and move the folding back guide Pointer

 When the paper receiving state of the side stitching stacker is unaligned
 Adjust the stacker guide position according to the paper size.
