SPECIAL FEATURES

B. The Special Functions Menu

For specialized binding jobs, sometimes you may wish to adjust the machine

settings. You can do this in the Special Functions Menu.

1. Entering the Special Functions Menu

a. Press the OPEN and EDIT buttons at the same time to enter the Special

Functions Menu, unless you already are in this menu. You can access the

menu with or without a document in the binder.

b. Push the EDIT button to move forward through the menu, and push the

OPEN button to cycle backwards. The six options are:

• BIND TIME

• STRIP END

• SET WRAP

• HALFBACK™

• MORE OPTIONS

• EXIT?

c. Press BIND to select the option you want.

2. Selecting the Halfback™ Bind Mode

The Fastback® lets you bind your documents using two different bind

modes: HALFBACK ON and HALFBACK OFF. Since each has different

binding requirements, you must change the bind mode to reflect the binding

style you are using.

If you’re unfamiliar with the binding styles, here’s a brief overview:

HALFBACK OFF mode is selected when using either Superstrip™ or

Perfectback™ binding styles. The Fastback® automatically detects the type

of strip inserted.

Superstrip™: This is the standard binding method. Here you assemble your

document with front and back covers, and bind it using a Superstrip™.

Perfectback™: This unique binding style allows you to create books that

look just like regular paperbacks—which means your final book has a

continuous cover from front to back. To Perfectback™ bind, you need a

Perfectback™ strip, your document, and a wraparound cover. (For more

information on using Perfectback™, please see p. 25).

HALFBACK ON bind mode is selected when using the Halfback™ binding

style.

Halfback™: This binding style doesn’t require a Superstrip™. All you need

is a Halfback™ cover (which has a built-in strip), your document, and a back

cover. (For more information on using Halfback™, please see p. 27).
