Perfect binding

The binding edge is specified using the @Orientation as input for the CoverApplication process. The DigitalPrintingParams, LayoutPreparationsParams and the input for the CoverApplication process are partitioned to specify respectively cover media, cover plexity and the cover orientation. 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 destination".
