Book Cover Setting
1.
Among the fold types is a special function called
book cover (fig. 9). The FD 230 is ideal for making
professional book and brochure covers. Book cover
is defined by 4 creases made in the middle of the
sheet with fixed distances 6 mm between the first
and second crease and third and fourth crease.
The distance between the second and third crease
is optional depending on the book thickness. This
dimension is defined by the “length” icon below the
book cover icon.
Saving and Loading Programs
1. The software allows up to 5 different jobs to be
saved. The number and position of the segments is
set according to the procedure described on page 7
“Setting the Number of Creases/Perforations”. After
setting the required number of segments and their
position the program can be saved. On the main
screen press the number in the right side of the
screen showing the program number (fig. 10a). The
menu for saving and loading of a program (fig. 10b)
appears.
To SAVE a program, choose the number for the
program using the keys “prg +” and “prg -” and press
the “Save” icon. Press the “Return” key to go back to
the main screen. The program is now saved.
To LOAD a saved program, press the number in
the right side of the screen showing the program
number. Then choose the program number you want
to load using the keys “prg +” and “prg -” and press
the “Load” icon. Press the “Return” key to go back
to the main screen. The machine is ready to operate
according to the loaded program.
Note: The screen displays the number of the last
program saved or loaded. For more effective work
the program can be changed without saving it. In this
case, the number of the last program saved or loaded
is still displayed, but the machine operates according
to the operator’s last setting, even though this setting
has not been saved. If the machine is turned off then
turned on again, the machine operates according
to the program displayed on the screen. The last
unsaved setting is deleted.
