Making a HalfBack Book With Your Fastback 15xs Binding Machine

Author: Jeff McRitchie

To create a Halfback document with your Fastback 15xs, follow these steps:

1. Choose the correct Halfback cover size for your document. The display should read "HALFBACK READY."

2. When you're ready to print, load your cover into an ink jet printer so the printing will be applied on the side without the adhesive stripe. With most printers, this means inserting the cover into the back of the printer, with the adhesive stripe facing down. Make sure to place the cover into the printer so that the spine is on the right. Do not use your Halfback covers in laser printers! Laser printers melt the Halfback adhesive and will damage or ruin your printer. Halfback™ covers can be printed using most popular brands of inkjet printers. Try a practice cover to see if your printer accepts the Halfback cover thickness and size.

3. Now you're ready to bind. Place your document in the binder, with the Halfback front cover facing the wavy binder fence. The back cover should face you. You can use any Fastback compatible cover as the back cover for your Halfback book. Many users choose a linen cover or a Fastback bindercover that will match the color of the Halfback that they are using.

4. Now press and hold the BIND button for one second until the Halfback binding cycle begins.

5. When the binder's book clamps open, take your book out of the binder and set it on the cooling rack for a few minutes. It is important that you let your document cool for 5-7 minutes before you attempt to open or use it. Using your book or document before it is cool can cause the spine to become deformed or can compromise the integrity of the bind.
