This mode cannot be used with jobs without a job ticket.
This mode is available for the job with a job ticket which the perfect binding mode is already set.
The Perfect Binding mode can be set only if the Perfect Binder-D1 is attached.
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, especially when you use special types of paper, such as heavy paper, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
Before performing perfect binding, we recommend you to check the curl state of a using paper type. You need to print out the main document and a cover to the finisher or stacker, and check that curl is within the following specified value.
 *1 Height of Curl: Less than +10 mm
*2 Height of Curl: Less than -10 mm
*3 Length of Curl: More than 50 mm
If you use the paper type that curls easily exceeding the specified value for perfect binding, the following problems may occur:
The finishing size of output is different from the specified one.
Paper jam occurs.
Error occurs.
