When this function is selected, the machine applies heated glue to printed sheets to form a book block, encloses the book block in a cover sheet, and then trims away excess paper.
If the PCL 6 printer driver is used, the Perfect Binding can be specified in the [Finishing] menu on the [Detailed Settings] tab. If the PCL 5c printer driver is used, it can be specified in the [Setup] tab. For printing methods, see the printer driver Help.
For details about the optional units required for this function, see "Functions Requiring Optional Configurations", Getting Started.
