Cover Up/Down CD Width Adjustment

If there is misalignment of the body sets and cover paper in the cross paper-feed direction, adjust the width to reduce the misalignment and curve.

The sizes referred to in this section are those of body sets corresponding to cover sizes.

As an example, this section explains how to adjust an unwanted 1 mm protrusion of the body sets from the top of the cover paper.

Meaning and Purpose of Cover Up/Down CD Width Adjustment

  • When making perfect-bound books, if there is misalignment of the body sets and cover paper in the cross paper-feed direction, this function allows you to adjust the width to reduce the misalignment and curve by specifying the desired value.

  • - value: Reduces the distortion.
