What You Can Do With This Machine
The Booklet Maker BLM6X00, Trimmer BLT6X89 and SquareFold SFM6X04 form a booklet
making system that works online with Copiers or Printers.
The print-outs from the Copier or Printer are transported sheet by sheet into the BLM
Booklet Maker and collected in the stapler area of the BLM Booklet Maker. The Booklet
Maker now jogs and then staples the set. The set is then transported further to the folding
area where the set is folded into a booklet and then fed out to the belt stacker.
When a larger number of sheets are folded an effect called creeping occurs. In order to
rectify creep, the BLT Trimmer (optional) can be connected to the Booklet Maker. The
booklets are then transported from the Booklet Maker into the Trimmer where the front edge
(face) will be cut off.
The Two-side Trimmer can be (optional) used for trimming the bleed out off the booklet. By
using the Two-Side Trimmer, the booklets can be trimmed off 2mm to 35mm each side, to a
minimum of 200mm and a maximum of 320mm. It is also possible to trim a-symmetrical.
Another option, the SFM SquareFold Module, can be installed if a BLT Trimmer is
installed on the BLM Booklet Maker. The prints, which have been stapled, folded and
trimmed will be fed into the SFM. The SFM will atten the spine of the booklet into
a square shape. The booklets will, after passing through the SFM, have the look of a
perfect bound book.
The booklets are then fed out to the Belt Stacker.

The entire BLM 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.
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.
Example 2: In this screen, button 1 has no function.
Example 3: Pressing button 1 here will answer “No” to
the question on the screen.

You may remove and replace the staple cartridge while
the stapler head assembly is in place.
Removing the staple cartridge
Open the top cover.
Raise the staple cartridge locking lever (A) as
indicated in the drawing.
Gently twist the staple cartridge (B) from side to
side, and pull out the staple cartridge (B) from the
stapler head.
If the staple cartridge is empty or almost empty*,
discard it and replace it with a new one. Before
replacing the cartridge, pull at least 20 mm of the
staples out and tear off at the staple tear line (C)
which is marked on the cartridge. If there has been a
misfeed, and the cartridge still contains staples, pull
20 mm of staples out of the cartridge and tear off at
the stapler tear line. Check that the rst staple is at.
If not, tear off another 20 mm, using less force.
*containing 300 staples or less

Insert the cartridge into the stapler head with the
staples facing towards the head mechanism. The
cartridge should be placed at on the slide on the
bottom of the stapler head. Push the cartridge rmly
into the stapler head and keep holding it pressed.
While holding the staple cartridge rmly pressed
into the stapler head, push down the cartridge
locking lever.
note
The staple cartridge must not move away from the
stapler head before the locking lever is engaged.
If that occurs, remove cartridge and again tear off
20mm of staples along the staple tear line before
inserting the cartridge.

After staple jam or empty staple cartridge has been detected, the BLM will automatically
advance and feed staples. This feature is called staple recovery. Follow procedure below
after a staple jam or empty staple cartridge indication.
Follow step 1-5 on the previous page.
Put the printer on hold.
Close the top cover.
Feed in a four page set into the manual feed slot. The staple recovery will commence
now.
Now the BLM has recovered and the printer can be restarted. In case problem
persists and no staples were fed, the display will indicate that again.
In such a case:
Repeat this procedure. If problem still persists, perform the Removing/replacing Stapler
Head procedure.

Removing/replacing stapler Head, continued
note
Whenever you remove a stapler head, be sure to
manually eject some staples before replacing it in the
BLM. To do this, rest the stapler head on a rm
surface (for example, the top of a table) and actuate
the staple driver post up/down through full travel. Do
this a number of times to ensure that the staples are
ejected on each down movement. If you need to change
the staple cartridge, see previous section, removal/
replacement of staple cartridge.
Warning
When manually ejecting the stapler, stay clear from
stapler output area.
Before inserting the stapler head, centre the stapler
lift bracket (A) over the area that will receive the
stapler head. Ensure that the staple driver post (B)
is in its uppermost position.
Place the stapler head back into the BLM. The
driver post arm (B) must be placed into the stapler
lift bracket (A).
Lock the pin (D) by rotating it towards the in-feed
side. Check that the stapler head is correctly
mounted by pushing the stapler head towards
the infeed area. If it is still loose, it is not correctly
mounted.
Insert the staple detection lead into its socket.
Press on the lower front edge of the stapler head
to align the hole (C) in the stapler bracket with the
hole in the stapler head. Insert the locking pin (D)
so that it engages the stapler head and the metal
sides of the stapler assembly.
Caution
If the driver post arm is not correctly positioned into the
stapler lift bracket (B) it will cause permanent damage to
the stapler head as well as the bracket. Subsequently,
also future correctly mounted stapler heads will be
damaged.

Adjusting staple and f old Alignment
If the booklets exiting the system do not have the
staples centered on the fold, or if stapling position is
desired on the top or bottom of the spine, that can be
adjusted from the control panel.
With Staple On Fold highlighted, press [+] or [-] to
move staple positioning on the spine. Press the [Enter]
button.
note
The adjustment can also be done during booklet
making.
If the booklet fold line is not in the center of the sheet,
or if it is desirable to move the fold line to match the
print, that can be adjusted from the control panel.
Contrary to the above situation, this adjustment moves
both the staple and fold together.
With Staple Fold Pos highlighted, press [+] or [-] to
move the staple and fold line position. Press the [Enter]
button.
Adjusting f old Quality
If the the adjustments from the control panel result in inconsistencies or inaccuracies it could
be due to paper quality and/or set size. For those cases it is possible to change the ball
conguration in the ball cages in the pre-fold transport. The purpose is to apply adequate
pressure on the set to ensure proper alignement against the fold stop before the set is folded.
The default conguration for BLM is with glass balls closest to the outfeed and plastic
balls closest to the infeed. Additional replacement steel, glass and plastic balls are located
in the tool box above the fold section. See table below for ball conguration guidelines.
note
The table below is meant purely to be a guide. Other congurations might work better
depending on the characteristics of the paper quality in conjunction with the set size.

Setting up Narrow Width Paper Sizes
In extreme circumstances, when the cover sheet tends to
be torn from the rest of the set, this can be rectified by
adjusting the Fold Adjust Levers located above the pre-fold
transport. There are eight positions for each lever. The
topmost notch (1) is the default position. Move the lever
notch by notch until performance is
satisfactory.
In case of BLM300C put the Fold Adjust Levers in the
default position.
If setting up narrow width paper sizes such as A5,
5.5x8.5” or CD-size, the side guide extensions (B) and the
Infeed Guide strips (C) must be removed.
Remove thumb screws (A), one on each side guide.
Remove side guide extension (B) one on each side
guide and remove the Infeed Guide strips (C),
Note
Make sure to re-install the side guide extensions after

automatically set the SquareFold to the correct mode.
note
When the SquareFold is set to [Auto] and the booklet has less than approximately 6 sheets/
booklet, the SquareFold will bypass the Square folding action, transporting the booklet out
to the Belt stacker.
Use the manual modes to override the auto function. There are ve different manual modes
to select from.
Mode 1: Approximately 6 - 10 sheets.
Mode 2: Approximately 11 - 15 sheets.
