SCORER USER’S MANUAL

VII TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

A Demonstration Cover in your Accessory Pack summarizes how

to prepare and assemble a book.

It may take a couple of practice tries the first time you try to make

a perfect book. Different cover materials, thicknesses and finishes

give different results. We suggest you print up some extra covers

(in black and white, if you wish) to perfect your technique, before

you use your final printed cover.

Be sure to keep the bottom edge of your cover up against the front

metal guides. This will keep your scores and folds properly aligned.

Covers should be scored in the sequence described. If you follow

another sequence, then the scores you make may not line up well

with the edges of your document’s spine.

You do not have to put your full weight into pushing down on the

lever. Excessive force can cause physical discomfort or shorten the

life of the machine. It is only necessary to push down hard enough

to make an adequate score in your material.

Figures 86, 87 and 88 show enlarged details of the edge of your book

spine area. Your Scorer is calibrated to produce a cover where both

edge scores fall right at the corners of your book (figure 86).

Common errors in assembly technique could result in: your scores

not aligning with your book corners (figure 87), or where your book

block spine is at an angle to your cover spine (figure 88). If your

book doesn’t turn out exactly how you would like, you will see

where you need to adjust your technique. Usually, medium and

thicker books come out better than very thin books.

When making a book, you may prefer to have the sharpest spine

corner on the front edge of your document. To do this using a

Fastback™ Model 15x or 15xs binder, load the machine with the

front of your document facing you. On the Fastback™ Model 8 you

will want to load the machine with the front of your document facing

away from you.

When assembling books smaller than 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 inches on the

machine, it is easier if you slide the Centering Guide to the right so

it is out of the way.

You may find that it is easier to get a snugger fit in the spine area

by using the Handheld Assembly technique described on page 11.

Electric or manual guillotine cutters may be used to trim the edges

of your book. Depending on the model, it is often best to place the

book where the spine is facing to the right — away from the left stop

of the cutter — so it is first cut by the blade. Also, you may want to

put a piece of card stock over the pages area only (not over the

spine) during trimming. This extra material thickness keeps the

cutter clamp from squashing the spine of your book.

For questions about, or problems with machine operation, call your

Fastback® dealer. They are there to help.
