Standard Operating Procedure

Printing:

Access all publications at http://publications.decagon.com, where you may view a list of all Decagon

publications–Quick Starts, Inserts, Stickers, Manuals, Covers, all print items. Should you dis-

ocover any print items not located in the git repository, contact the Archivist to determine if

Decagon should print the item in house. The Print Station benchtop PC Internet homepage is

http://publications.decagon.com. Simply open the PC Internet browser to access the repository.

All ﬁle names have the product number ﬁrst, an underscore, the product name, another underscore,

and, if required, the web or print notation. Many ﬁles have two versions in the online repository, a

“print.pdf” and a “web.pdf,” while all other ﬁles – Covers, Quick Start guides, Integrator guides,

and Inserts have only one print ﬁle “print.pdf.” Always select the “print.pdf” to print at the Print

Station

Each product has a designated folder in the repository. i.e. All manual covers printed in house

will be in the “Covers” folder and you can download and print them on demand. Quick Start

Guides, Integrator Guides, Inserts, and Application Notes, etc. all have their own folders in the

online repository. Download and save the “print.pdf” ﬁle to the “Print Manuals” folder on the

Print Station PC desktop and open in Adobe Acrobat to print.

Note: Do not print from previously saved copies, always pull print manuals from the repository

at http://manuals.decagon.com to ensure you have the most up to date item.

MarCom formats all print ﬁles for production printing. Print to “actual size,” “double-sided,”

and with “collate” checked to print materials correctly. (See Figure 2) Print all other materials

according to individual speciﬁcations, though every item should be printed to “actual size.”

Note: Periodically check for print errors during every print run to catch them before too many

have printed.

Guillotine Cutter Figure 9: Ideal Components Be sure to align the guillotine cutter precisely to make both the binding cuts and any finishing cuts to even out booklets. A precise cut requires that the paper holder is firmly holding the material and the black Side Alignment Guide is screwed tight to prevent movement. e.g. Align the Side Alignment Guide at precisely 5.5 inches from the blade to ensure a clean and accurate half cut for a typical 8.

Blade is not Cutting Cleanly through Paper 1. Rotate cutting base for a smooth cutting surface. 2. If the blade is not cutting through stacks adequately, then it may need to be sharpened or replaced. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for instructions on repairing or replacing the blade. Scoring The crease/perforation machine has a front and rear sliding stop, as well as an angular stop.

Figure 12: WireMac-E Components Binding Troubleshooting Binding is too Tight or Loose Spiral wire is too tight or loose, causing pages to become stuck or to come out of binding all together. This is usually remedied by verifying the closing mechanism on the binder is set to close to the appropriate depth. If it is set correctly, then check the size of the spiral binding wires you are using to ensure they are adequate for your binding job.
