1. Switch on the device at the main switch.
2. The clamping jaws close automatically.
3. The device is now in the preheating phase and heats up. Duration approx. 5 min. at room tem-
perature. The heating phase is displayed by the flashing LEDs starting with LED F. If a heating
step has been reached, the LED is permanently on.
4. If the set temperature has been reached, the display extinguishes and the calibration procedure
starts.
5. After the calibration process the symbols INSERT BINDING MATERIAL and CLOSE CLAMPING
JAWS light up.
6. The device is now ready for operation.
7. If for more than 1 hr. no binding procedure is performed, the device switches to the energy-
saving standby mode.
8. If, for more than 3 hrs., no binding procedure is performed, and the heating is shut-down com-
pletely by the control system. Except the LED F, all other LEDs are switched-off.
9. Pressing the STANDBY button starts the heating procedure again.
Note
It is not possible to start a binding cycle during the preheating phase. The
device is only released from a temperature of 290°F / 143°C.

Standard Duplicating Machines Corporation AccuBindPro2
Revision 12/17/08 18
5.2 STANDBY Mode - Automatic and Manual energy-saving modes
The device switches automatically to energy-saving STANDBY mode with a lower heating plate tem-
perature if it has been idle for more than approx.1 hour (the LEDs A, B, C are switched-off and the
LEDs D, E, F remain on).
If the device has not been used for more than approx. 3 hours, it is switched into a sleep mode with
switched-off heating (the LEDs A, B, C, D, E are turned off, LED F remains on to display the room
temperature).
To manually activate the STANDBY mode, press the STANDBY button. The device is immediately
switched to energy-saving mode with reduced temperature of heating plate.
After pressing the STANDBY button again and a short heating period, the device is ready for opera-
tion again (START button LED is on).

NOTE: The numbers on the drawing indicate the step number below.
1. The device is now ready for operation and in Binding Mode by default.
2. The opening clearance of the clamping jaws can be reduced to prevent the paper from slipping
or tilting while binding thin stacks. This is accomplished by pressing the START button.
3. As long as the START button is pressed, and if the paper hasn't been inserted yet, the clamping
jaws move together until they are closed and move back to their maximum opening clearance
again.
4. If the clamping jaws have been closed too far, press the STOP button to open them again.
5. Adjust the opening clearance of the clamping jaws if necessary.
6. Jog the paper stack and place it upright between the clamping jaws with the spine pointing down-
wards and aligned against the right side.
7. Press the START button.
8. Hold on to the block of paper until the clamping station has closed.
9. The required strip width is calculated.
10. The required strip width is displayed by the lighting up of LED STRIP WIDTH A – F.
11. The display for inserting the Binding Strip is on.

12. Insert the Binding Strip into the feeder with the adhesive side facing upwards.
13. The binding cycle is started automatically.
14. LED BINDING COMPLETED lights up, the clamping station opens and moves after removal of
the book into the position of the previous book size plus 0.59” (15 mm) opening clearance.
15. If the binding isn't removed quickly, you'll hear an audible warning signal.
16. Remove the binding straight up and place onto the cooling rack to cool down.
17. Place the pressure block against the binding and press firmly against it.
18. If you want to continue your binding job with paper of the same or a smaller size you may do so
by putting the paper stack into the binding device and triggering the binding process with the
START button.
19. If your paper stack is bigger than the one used before you have to open the clamping jaws by
pressing the START button. Then put the paper stack into the AccuBindPro2 and trigger the
binding process by pressing the START button once again.
16, 17
Note
Allow the bound material to rest for approx. 10 minutes until it has cooled down.
