3-13 Finishing the Binding Operation

Turn off the power switch

Press the 

 (Stop) button on 

the Binding Screen.

Turn off the power switch.

- Turn the switch to left to turn off the power.

When the power is turned on the next time, the 
machine will recall the information from the pre-
vious job.

-If the starting time for the melt tank 
heating is set beforehand using the 
weekly timer (option), the binding oper-
ation can be started without waiting for 
the glue to be melted.
- When using the optional weekly timer, 
leave the power switch of the BQ-270 
turned ON. Refer to page 97 for opera-
tion.
