4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Document Assembly
1. Check the bind edge guide alignment by inserting a receiving strip in the strip
recess area. Lay a sheet of correctly aligned punched paper on the strip,
matching up the holes and the strip so that the strip is not showing at the top or
bottom of the paper. Adjust the bind edge guide if necessary by loosening the
screw and sliding the guide to the edge of the paper.
2. Place the back cover (face down), the punched sheets (last page on the bottom),
and front cover (face up) on top of the receiving strip.
3. Place the receiving strip (bottom binding strip with holes), textured side down
in the strip recess, located in front of the backstop. Be sure the small hole in
the receiving strip is over the locating pin. The locating pin is on the left
hand side of the strip recess area in front of the backstop. The locating pin
fits into the small hole in the plastic strip. The strip is positioned correctly
over the locating pin when it is difficult to slide the strip to the right.
Failure to properly align the strip can cause machine damage.
4. Now determine the correct size of the pin strip. Use the scale on the backstop to
determine the thickness of the document and the size of the pins required. 1
inch (25 mm) on the scale requires a 1 inch (25 mm) pin. Anything over 1 inch
(25 mm) requires a 2 inch (51 mm) pin. Anything over 2 inches (51 mm)
requires a 3 inch (75 mm) pin. The pins should extend all the way through the
document but not more than 1 inch (25 mm) beyond. Insert the strip through the
document's holes and the receiving strip.
