Welcome
Congratulations, and thank you for choosing the Watkiss
Vario Document Finishing System.
The Watkiss Vario Document Finishing System (DFS)
automatically gathers sets from a sequentially printed
stack of paper. The sheets are held in a gathering station
until the set is complete, it is then released for online
finishing. The DFS can be used with Watkiss Vario and
Watkiss BookMaster bookletmakers. Separate operating
manuals are provided for these units.
The Document Finishing System features integral static
elimination equipment that neutralises any charge
present in feed stock.
The system may also be used as a standard collator if
required (See “Normal Collating” on page 59).
ABOUT YOUR
MANUAL The manual has a chapter called ’Running the Job’ to get you up and running quickly. It is then followed by more
detail on each of the modules that make up your machine,
and by problem solving charts and additional notes.
