VI TIPS FOR BEST BINDING
• Before binding, tap the pages several times to ensure that they are
even when the document is in the binding recess. The Lx-Strip
edge and document edge should line up.
• The grain of the paper should run parallel to the binding edge of
the document. All paper has a grain — it is a result of the fibers that
make up the paper. If the grain runs parallel to the long side of the
sheet, the paper is "grain long". When the grain runs parallel to the
short side of the paper, it is "grain short".
A sheet of paper will naturally flex more easily along the direction of
its grain. Try it and see. (Hold a piece of paper the long way lightly in
your fingertips and gently bow the paper, allowing it to flex. Now try
it the other way. See the difference.
Most copy papers are grain long, so you should not have any
problems with the bind. Grain long paper will give you the best
bind. Occasionally you may find papers that are grain short, so we
recommend you test unfamiliar papers before binding large numbers
of documents.
• Coated papers, and papers with heavy ink or toner coverage may
also experience problems with binding. If you have documents with
heavy ink or toner coverage, always do a test bind first to ensure
that your documents will bind properly.
• After the binding cycle, be sure to place your document entirely
upright, with the bound side down, against one of the two rear
book support fences for five minutes. Improper cooling of your
document may result in a crooked spine. Bind strength increases
over time, and is maximized after 24 hours.

NOTE:
compartment, make sure it doesn't get overloaded to where the
front document hangs off the metal step. For questions about, or
problems with paper grain direction or machine operation, call your
Fastback® dealer.
