SCORER USER’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION I
Meet your fabulous new Scorer!
This machine enables you to precisely add scores to most
cover materials. These crisp and straight scores provide
folding lines or cosmetic creases on your covers or card
stock. Now you can make professional-looking bound
books with pre-printed wraparound soft covers on your
own desktop. Heat-sensitive materials and inks as well as
toner-based digital printing may be used for your covers.
With our Fastback®Model 8 and 15xs series binders you
can quickly and easily bind your document pages. Then
our full line of Perfectback™strip products allows you to
complete the desktop production of your books — be it
one or one thousand! Choose between a lay-flat binding
style or a fully bound spine. (Details regarding binding
methods are described on page 6.) You can also score
folders and greeting cards — even party hats and paper
airplanes, if you like. Like all Powis Parker products,
this Scorer is fast, versatile and easy to use.
The unique transparent die holder allows you to see and
control exactly where you are scoring your cover. Our
patented Centering Guide enables you to easily center a
title on the spine of books up to 1-1/2 inches thick.
Please read the COMFORT & SAFETY section on page 4
