Power Supply
• Make sure the power supply used is always within the following range.
Power supply : 120 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
• When you power other appliances from the same AC outlet, make sure that the combined power
consumption does not exceed the power supply capacity.
Rated power: 230 W (Excl. DBM-150T 130 W)
Rated current: 2.2 to 1.1 A (Excl. DBM-150T 1.2 to 0.7 A)
Use only the power supply voltage specified on the main nameplate.
Using other voltages could result in a re or an electrical shock.
Make sure that the combined power consumption of the appliances to be
connected does not exceed the capacity rating of the power outlets or plug
receptacles.
Exceeding the capacity rating could cause the power outlets, plug receptacles, or power extension cords to
overheat and catch a re.

ii
Safety Precautions
Operating Environment
Operate this unit in the following environment.
• where the temperature range is between 5 and 35°C (-10 to +50°C in storage)
• where the humidity range is between 20 and 85% RH (10 to 90% RH in storage, however no condensation)
• which is not subject to direct sunlight
• which is reasonably free from dust
• which is subject to little or no vibration
• which is free from air-borne salt
• where there are no harmful chemicals
• where the unit is not exposed to water
Keep this unit and the power cord away from heaters and heater vents.
Excessive heat could melt the cover or power cord covering, and result in a re or an electrical shock.
Do not place metal objects or vessels containing liquids on top of the unit.
The entry of any metal object or liquid could result in a re or an electrical shock.
Do not insert any metal or easily-combustible object inside this unit.
This could result in a re or an electrical shock.
Do not use flammable sprays inside or near the unit (e.g. when cleaning the
unit).
Such ammable gas may ignite and cause a re or combustion.
Do not install this unit in a location where there is excessive humidity or
where contact with water is possible.
Poor choice of location could result in deterioration of the insulation, a re or an electrical shock.
Install this unit on a level, stable stand or floor, with sufficient space around it.
Failure to do so could result in the unit overturning and causing injury.
Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before attempting to move
this unit.
Failure to do so could result in power cord damage, a re or an electrical shock.
Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet when the unit is not
to be used for an extended period.
Failure to do so could result in a re due to leakage current if the insulation should deteriorate.

iii
Safety Precautions
Maintenance / Other

plug from the power outlet.
Failure to do so could result in a re or an electrical shock.
Contact your dealer immediately.
Before cleaning this unit, turn the unit off at the power switch and disconnect
the power plug from the power outlet.
Accidental operation of the unit during cleaning could result in injury.
Remove any dust that accumulates on the power plug prongs and the surface
of the plug from which the prongs extend. Before removing dust, turn the unit
off at the power switch and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
Accumulated dust could result in a re.
Always grip the plug when disconnecting the power plug from the power
outlet.

1. Features
1-1. The features of the DBM-150
• The DBM-150 is a stapler folder that can make a booklet in two binding modes: saddle staple and fold (no
staple, fold only).
Saddle staple Fold
You can also make a booklet in other modes using the option kit below.
CORNER AND SIDE STAPLE KIT: side staple, corner staple
SXS MODIFICATION KIT: used to connect a sheet feeder as a upstream unit.
• The DBM-150T (trimmer) can be connected to the DBM-150 as a downstream unit.
• When connected to a collator, the DBM-150 and the DBM-150T can be used as a system machine. With
the use of the SXS MODIFICATION KIT (option), the sheet feeder can be connected to this machine as a
upstream unit.

Chapter 1 Before Operation
1-2. The features of the DBM-150T
The DBM-150T is a trimmer and is connected to the stapler folder DBM-150. The DBM-150T trims the fore-
edge of a booklet made by the DBM-150.
As a downstream unit of the DBM-150, this machine starts or stops in conjunction with the DBM-150.
Binding Operations
1) Stapled and folded paper
The booklet stapled and folded by the upstream unit is sent to this machine and trimmed. After
being trimmed, the booklet will be conveyed to the belt stacker. The booklet can be ejected even
without trimming.
2) Folded paper
The booklet folded (not stapled) by the upstream unit is sent to this machine and trimmed. After
being trimmed, the booklet will be conveyed to the belt stacker. The booklet can be ejected even
without trimming.
Because the booklet is not stapled, it may not be trimmed properly if the folded paper is poorly
aligned.
3) Side and corner stapled paper (option)
The booklet side-stapled or corner-stapled by the DBM-150 is sent to the belt stacker through this
machine. The booklet cannot be trimmed.

2. Names and Functions of Components
When using both the DBM-150 and the DBM150T, each machine is connected with each other as shown in
the gure below. When not using the DBM-150T, the belt stacker is connected to the DBM-150.
This manual describes how to use both the DBM-150 and the DBM-150T.
Note that the appearance of the belt stacker for users in the EU may be dierent from that shown in this
