Rhin-O-Tuff ONYX 5000 Pro User manual

Binding Tips (Continued)
MEDIA –Thermal binding systems work best with standard
uncoated sheets, copy paper 75 or 80 GSM. Uncoated sheets have
the best absorption characteristics and create the strongest bind.
Thermal binding is not recommended when using high-gloss, coated
sheets, thin paper stocks, cover weight or laminated material as
your document pages. If coated sheets are used, we recommend
using the Rhin-O-Tuff® Flat Clinch Stapler* to secure the pages
before binding.

measure the thickness of the document using the Cover Spine selector guide on the
back of the ONYX 5000 Pro’s cooling rack.

Binding Tips
SCORING COVERS/JOGGING –All Rhin-O-Tuff® Thermal Covers*
have helper scores on the front/back cover. Fold the helper
scores to help guide sheets into cover. Jog document pages
before placing into pre-scored cover to ensure all pages have
contact with the glue strip. Failure to jog or poor jogging of the
document can produce partial or weak binds.
MAINTENANCE - It is recommended to occasionally wipe the unit with
a dry cloth and to keep it dust free. The heating plate should also be
kept free from dust and excess glue. To remove excess glue from
the heat plate, simply heat unit fully. At the end of the cycle, unplug
the unit and wipe the heat plate with a dry paper towel.
Be careful not to touch the heat plate directly it will be HOT.
