Perfect binding

The binding edge is specified using the @Orientation of the input component of the CoverApplicationProcess. The DigitalPrintingParams, LayoutPreparationsParams and input Component of the CoverApplication are partitioned to specify respectively cover media, cover plexity and cover Component. Optionally:

  • Additional Trimming can be applied on the perfect bound book, see section "Trimming".

  • The cover can be edited on the printer. Only the "Front" value can be used in this case, see section "Covers".

  • The output tray can be set to the Perfect binder tray, see section "Output bin".
