5. DIGICOIL SET-UP
Turning the DigiCoil On:
1. Plug the blunt end of the Power Cord into the DigiCoil unit, just below the Power Switch.
2. Plug the end of the Power Cord that has metal prongs into a standard outlet.
3. Press the Power Switch to “O’ for ON.
4. The LCD on the Keypad will read “Ready Press Start”.
Determining the Appropriate Coil Size
1. Place the complete document to be bound on the lower level of the staging shelf so that the binding edge is against the
Binding Element Size Guide bar graph. The staging shelf is the metal shelving attached to the front of the DigiCoil.
2. Select the coil size that best lines up with your document thickness. It is important the document fits easily within the
range of the bar that you determine to be the appropriate coil size. If it does not, you will need to either go to the next
larger size of coil, or down to the next smaller size.
3. The coil size you have selected for your document is also the Spine Former size you will need to bind the documents.
4. Size of Coil = Size of Spine Formers.
Changing / Inserting the Spine Formers
1. After determining the correct coil and Spine Former size, press the Start button, and after a brief warm-up period, the
LCD panel will read “Ready Press Foot Switch”.
2. Press the Open Spines button.
3. The Document Insertion Area will open, the Spine Formers will lower, and the unit will power down.
4. Open the Right Side Access Panel of the unit to gain full and easy access to the Spine Formers.
5. Remove the Spine Formers currently in the unit by loosening the Hold Down Screws. If there are no Spine Formers
installed in the unit, go to Step 9.
6. Loosen the Hold Down Screws until they stop in the full open position.
7. Remove all three Spine Formers one at a time by rotating the top edge out first.
8. Place the Formers in the convenient Storage Area.
9. Select the three new Formers according to the size stamped on each Former. All Formers and coils are measured in
millimeters.
10. To insert the Former, turn it sideways, placing the bottom edge in first, and rotate into position.
11. Tighten the Hold Down Screw until the Former is flat against the Former Bracket.
12. Repeat this process for the two remaining Spine Formers.
Adjusting the Center Spine Former for Document Height
The bottom Former and the top Former do not move, their positions are fixed. The center Former position is the only
Former position that may need to be adjusted. The center Former has three different positions based on the height of the
bind edge. The inside of the Right Side Access Panel door has a reference chart to assist in the proper placement of the
center Spine Former, either position 1, 2, or 3.
1. Place your document flush against the bottom edge of the panel door, positioned so the binding edge is parallel to the
inside of the machine.
2. Check the placement of the top of the document on the Center Spine Former Location Guide. Whichever column the
top lies in is the position the center Former will need to be located.
3. To move the location of the center former, completely loosen the Top Screw.
4. Slide the bracket to the appropriate, marked position as indicated by the reference chart.
5. Tighten the Top Screw completely when properly positioned. It is very important to align the Top Screw directly
into the hole.
6. Close the Right Side Access Panel.
7. Press Start. The DigiCoil will power up and the Document Insertion Area will close.
