Finishing Line
The entire process is controlled via 2D Data Matrix codes. Through the
code, the system receives authorization for the following automatic
settings and workflow control:
• Information on book dimensions and inserts (quantity and
sequence)
• Binder setup (spine position, thickness, and length)
• Cover preparation: Softcover → creasing, cutting, edge
trimming
• Correct book-to-cover matching
• Three-knife trimmer (blade positioning is automatically adjusted
to the book dimensions)
