  • Cover Trim

  • With Cover Trim specified, the machine trims the cover by the amount automatically estimated from the following formula, in the range from 30.0 mm to 40.0 mm in 0.1 mm increments.

    (Cover width) - (Body width 2) - (Spine width)

    If the estimated amount exceeds 10 mm, the machine automatically trims the cover whether this function is activated or not.
