The machine consists of five main parts: Cover selector, Display, Input bay,
Binding unit, and Output tray.
Cover selector
The cover selector comprises a slot into which you
insert the set of papers to be bound, short side first.
A sensor measures the thickness of the set and the
recommended type of cover is then shown on the
display.
Display
The display shows what is happening in the machine. A
number of user functions can be selected using the two
push-buttons on the panel. (See also chapter 5 “User
settings”.)
Input bay
Insert the set of papers into the selected cover. This is
now called a document (cover with a set of papers).
Now put the document into the input bay with the spine
downwards.
If the binding machine stops for some reason, the jam
clearance door in the input bay can be pushed aside
and the document removed. (See also chapter 7
“Clearing and emptying”.)
Binding unit
The document is first jogged and then transported into a
heating zone where the glue in the cover melts. Then
the document passes through a cooling zone, and the
glue binds the pages together in the cover.
Output tray
The output tray moves outwards as the finished
documents are fed into it. An audible signal sounds
when the output bay is nearly full and a message is
shown on the display.
Terminology
In this manual and in the Quick Guide, the Bindomatic
cover is referred to as
cover
and the set of papers is
referred to as the
set
. When the set is put into the
cover, this is referred to as a
document
.
When a number of documents are piled on each other,
this is referred to as a
batch
.

5. Documents (cover and set) can
always
be put into
the machine for binding when the green
lamp is on. Documents can be put in
one by one or in batches.
The machine confirms that a document
has been put in with an audible signal.
As soon as the green lamp lights again,
the next document or batch can be put
in. The machine starts heating up the
binder unit at the same time. Heating
remains on until the machine switches
to the energy-saving mode. See also
chapter 5 “User settings”.
When a batch of documents is put into the
machine, the number of documents in the
batch should be limited as shown below.
6. Remove the finished documents from the output tray.
The processing time is approx. 2 minutes for the first
document. The time for the second and subsequent
documents is only about 10 seconds. Allow the
documents to cool for a while before using them.
The machine automatically switches to the energy-
saving mode after a preset time (4 h). Alternatively, a
time of 15 minutes can be selected as described in
chapter 5 “User settings”.
4. Put the set into the selected cover.

If there is a mains power failure or if the binding machine stops functioning for
some other reason, documents that have just been put in and other unbound
documents can be removed as described below. If there are unfinished documents
in the machine when the power supply is restored, the machine will automatically
move them into the output tray. Then they can be put into the input bay again.
If the binding machine breaks down, any documents should be cleared and remo-
ved from the machine before it is sent for service.
Clearing
To facilitate removal of the documents, the machine is equipped with a jam clearance door.
Pull the jam clearance door away with one hand (1). Firmly grip the document(s) in the input bay
with the other hand (2) and lift them out of the machine (3).
The binding machine should then automatically
return to the normal position. However,
if it does not, press the RESTART button.
7. Clearing and emptying
Emptying
The binding machine only needs to be emptied manually in exceptional
cases (e.g. if the machine breaks down or if there is an extended power
failure). Unbound documents can be removed from the
machine so that they do not fall into the wrong hands.
Disconnect the mains cable before emptying the machine.
Then wait for a while until the heating zone in the machine
has cooled down.
Stand at the output end of the machine and hold both hands
in the output tray, as shown in the figure below. Turn the
outermost drivers on both sides outward using your thumbs
so that the document is manually fed one step forward. This
operation may prove difficult but you need not be afraid to
use some force. The drivers are designed to bend
considerably. Repeat the procedure to move the remaining
documents forward. Remove the unbound document from the
machine and repeat the procedure again until the binding
machine is empty.

8. How to make the most of your binding machine
The following suggestions can be useful when using your Bindomatic 101 DFS
Avoiding loose pages!
Tip:
Always use the cover selector to ensure you have the correct spine width and thus avoid
loose pages.
If there are too many pages in a cover, the string of glue will be insufficient for all the pages.
Do not pull out pages!
Tip:
Allow the document to cool down. When the document is removed from the machine, it has
cooled sufficiently so it can be handled and read. But do not test the strength of the binding
immediately. A document with only a few pages reaches full strength after a few minutes. But
a thicker document may require almost an hour to cool down and attain maximum strength,
especially if the set of papers comes directly from a copying machine or printer.
Check that the paper you are using is suitable for binding!
Tip:
When using glazed paper, we recommend that you first make a test binding to check that the
strength of the binding is satisfactory. The strength of some types of glazed paper is very
similar to ordinary copying paper whereas other types have characteristics that may reduce
the strength of the binding. Using glazed paper for one or two pages in the set will usually not
cause any problems.
Even jogging!
Tip:
Always use the sorting function on your copying machine. On many copying machines the
output copies can be sorted into sets and delivered in a special output tray, and for binding,
it is always advantageous to select the sorting function. Normally the copying machine jogs
every page it sorts. If the standard output tray of the copying machine is used, static
electricity in each sheet of paper will make it close to impossible for the binding machine to
jog the papers and form a uniform and presentable document.
