Adjust the Stitch Pitch

Introduction
The stitch pitch is the space between the stitches. The machine automatically calculates the stitch
pitch according to the size of the paper and the number of stitches. The stitches are inserted
symmetrically on the spine of the book.
If a non-standard stitch pitch is needed, use STITCH PITCH to make the adjustment.
