Troubleshooting

Document pages are not securely bound.

Ensure the thermal binder was at the correct operating temperature and the binding time was sufficient. Verify that the document does not exceed the 15-sheet capacity for the 1.5mm spine. Ensure pages are squared correctly before insertion.

The cover is wrinkled or damaged after binding.

Check that the correct capacity cover (1.5mm) is being used for the number of sheets. Ensure the binder is not overheating and that the document is allowed to cool completely before handling.

Adhesive strip does not seem to be working.

Confirm the thermal binder is fully heated. Ensure the adhesive strip on the cover is not contaminated with dust or other particles. Follow the 3-step binding process precisely.
