• Make sure that the power cords have been securely
connected to the printer and Perfect Binder.

• Make sure that the main power of the Perfect Binder
has been turned on.
It takes a long time to start binding from
when the binding job is sent.
• If the temperature of the glue and glue tank is not
suitable, the heater warms up the glue until it
reaches to the suitable temperature and then the
binding begins. Preheat the glue to the suitable
temperature, so that the binding begins sooner.
For more information on how to check the glue
temperature of the glue unit, see "Glue
Temperature" (p. 1-9).
The booklet is not bound nicely and the
spine is wavy / the completed booklet is
difficult to open / body pages fall off from
the spine of the booklet.
• Check the paper texture. Use the short-grained
paper for the cover and the long-grained paper for
the body pages so that the paper texture becomes
parallel to the long side of the booklet.
For more information, see "Paper texture" (p. 14).
The cover sheet length is shorter than
that of the body pages and the body
pages cannot be bound by the cover
sheet.
• The cover sheet length may be too short to bind the
body pages because the body pages are thicker due
to usage of glue. Remake the original (booklet) data
adding the necessary length (length shortage) to
[Spine Width] for binding.
• The cover cutting position or gluing position may not
be appropriate.
For more information on the cover cutting position or
gluing position, see "Cover Settings for the Perfect
Binder" (p. 1-12).
The spine position of the booklet is
misplaced to the right or left.
• When the spine position is shifted to the right side
(Below is an example of left binding.) :
Shifted length
The misplaced spine position
Cover 4
Cover 1
The appropriate spine position
Remake the original (booklet) data adding the

• When the spine position is shifted to the left side
(Below is an example of left binding.) :
The misplaced spine position
Cover 4
Cover 1
The appropriate spine position
Shifted length
Remake the original (booklet) data reducing the
shifted length from [Spine Width].
• The cover layout changes depending on the
binding side.
