3. INTRODUCTION 3.1 Foreword Thank you for choosing a c.p. bourg product. This manual is a guide to operate the Bourg Document Finisher E-Series. BDF-e INISHER E-Series ( OURG OCUMENT ) is an automatic machine for the pro- duction of books; it staples, folds and face trim sets originating from, a printer or a press machine.
3.2 Job Definition Format (JDF) Capability A new Web to Finish solution makes touch less workflow achievable from order to finished pro- duct with no manual setup or intervention; thus, helping automatic print production by giving the finishing devices an integral role in the manufacturing process. Integrating finishing equipment capabilities into the job definition at the prepress stage reduces or eliminates operator involvement and reduces or eliminates job setup time.
4. WARNING PICTOGRAMS Note: The BDF-e is equipped by a touch screen and this screen contains a battery Danger of explosion if battery is wrongly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
