Available paper weight as cover or body pages/slip sheets are as follows.
*1 Use grain short paper for covers if the paper has a paper weight that is 140 lb index (251 g/m
2
) or higher.
*2 Using the paper whose weight is 20 lb index (80 g/m
2
) or higher as the body pages or the slip sheets may cause a
crack in the spine of the booklet because the paper has a high stiffness.
*3 These values may differ, depending on the image data.
IMPORTANT
Do not use the curled paper. Using curled paper may cause defect in binding or paper jams.
If the position of the images or text on the body pages or the slip sheets is crooked, the bound
booklets will be poorly finished with uneven thickness. To produce nicely finished booklets
keep the position of the images and text on the body pages and slip sheets centered.
NOTE
Do not use the cover that contains images or text in the bonded part. It may cause defect
in a binding, since they impede adhesion of the glue.
Even if you make a booklet using the body pages or the slip sheets within the
specifications of this machine, using the paper that has a high smoothness or stiffness
may cause a crack in the spine of the booklet or missing pages because the adhesive
force is insufficient.
In this case, perform “Fine Adjusting the Amount of Glue” (
If there is no improvement even by fine-adjusting, change the paper used as the body
pages or the slip sheets.
