Introduction; Unpacking And Setup - GBC Quantum P70iX Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

INTRODUCTION
The Quantum P70iX is designed to meet the unique requirements of the digital
print marketplace. It is designed to support all commonly required punching pat-
terns, including three-hole, comb, VeloBind, Twin-Loop wire, and Color Coil.
Custom die patterns are also available. This new system is designed to deliver
the quick changeover requirements of the short-run digital printer.
Virtually all set-ups are quickly and easily accomplished from the digital print
display panel, overcoming a major time-consuming aspect of traditional produc-
tion punches. Die changes can be accomplished in a short time without tools.
The system is pre-programmed with all common paper sizes, and can store 20
custom jobs.
The P70iX is designed to handle a wide range of media. It can handle sheet
sizes from 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" to 9" x 12", including mixed paper-weights and cover
stocks. Another key feature is the system's ability to process intermixed index
tabs without any special adjustments.
The P70iX incorporates GBC's new "stack processing" technology, which is
designed to reduce operator labor cost. This new architecture allows the system
to process a 14" stack (3,500 sheets 20# bond) without operator attendance.
The P70iX offers a maximum throughput speed of 60,000 sheets per hour.
The Quantum P70iX is GBC's revolutionary new, near-line, high-speed Digital
Production Punch. It sets up in minutes and keeps up, side-by-side, with banks
of today's fastest digital print engines.
These instructions have been prepared to acquaint you with the Quantum P70iX
punch and it's operation. Please read them carefully. Keep these operating
instructions for future reference.
