What You Can Do With This Machine SQF 2000 SquareFolder (option) FTR 2000 Trimmer (option) BM 2000 Booklet Maker Belt Stacker The Booklet Maker BM 2000, Trimmer FTR 2000 and SquareFolder SQF 2000 form a booklet making system that works on-line with Feeder/Collators. The sheets from the Feeder/Collator are transported into the BM 2000 Booklet Maker and collected in the stapler area of the BM 2000 Booklet Maker. The Booklet Maker now jogs and then staples the set.
The entire BM 2000 Booklet making system is controlled from a single control panel on the Booklet Maker. The control panel has only six buttons which will allow you to easily set up, adjust and operate the complete system. Buttons 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 The buttons are multi functional, meaning that the function of each button depends on the information displayed. For example: In this screen, the icon next to button 1 indicates you will go up one level in the menu when the button is pressed.
