Perfect Binding: Adjusting the Clamp CD Width
If there is misalignment, unevenness, or irregularity in the second half of the body sets in the clamped portion, adjust the cover paper width in the cross paper-feed direction.
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 a misalignment of 1 mm.
• Meaning and Purpose of Clamp CD Width Adjustment
When printing multiple copies of a perfect-bound book, if there is misalignment in the body sets in the horizontal scanning direction or if the pages in the second half of the book are misaligned, this function allows you to adjust the vertical side of clamped pages by specifying the desired value.
Negative values reduce the curve.
Positive values reduce misalignment.
• When to perform
When there is misalignment, curve, or unevenness in the clamped pages of a perfect-bound book
If the body sets are misaligned in the horizontal scanning direction or if the pages in the second half of the book are misaligned when printing multiple copies of a perfect-bound book
• Intended Environment
Image Controller | Image Controller IC-602 |
Mounted finisher | Perfect Binder PB-503 |
* The sample screen may be different from the actual display depending on your system environment.
• Precautions
If the whole book is misaligned, or if the pages of the book are vertically misaligned, use the Sub Compile CD Width Adjustment function to adjust the alignment. (Refer to Perfect Binding: Adjusting the Sub Compile CD Width.)
Check for misalignment 'a' in the body sets of a perfect-bound book.
On the touch panel of the main body, press [Adjustment] on the [MACHINE] screen.
Press [Finisher Adjustment] on the [Adjustment Menu] screen.
Press [Perfect Binder Adjustment] on the [Finisher Adjustment] menu.
Press [Clamp CD Width Adjustment] on the [Perfect Binder Adjustment] menu.
Select the paper size to adjust. Enter the adjustment value and press [Set].
Example: Reduce a 1 mm misalignment for [A4].
Item
Setting
[A4]
Reducing the 1 mm misalignment (10)
Press [1], [0], and [Set] to enter the value [10]. This reduces the misalignment by 1 mm.
Press the keypad on the screen to set the value.
Use [+/-] to specify the value to be positive or negative. Set a positive value (narrower) to reduce misalignment. Set a negative value (wider) to reduce curve.
The values are in 0.1 mm increments. (1 = 0.1 mm)
With a specific paper size selected, the set value becomes the sum of the entered value and the value specified for [Offset for All Size].
Pressing [Print Mode] switches the mode to print mode, which allows you to print the original.
Print the original again in perfect binding and check the alignment in the body sets.
Repeat the above steps until there is no misalignment in the body sets.
