INTRODUCTIONI

Welcome!

Meet the PowisPrinter™, an extraordinary new printer that lets you

print directly onto a Binderstrip™. It prints colored text on up to three

different locations of the strip, in a variety of orientations, and accepts

different lengths of narrow, medium and wide Binderstrips™. So not

only can you print on Binderstrips™, but you have complete flexibility

in how you do it.

Need even more printing options? Windows 95™ compatible software

is available with the PowisPrinter™ to expand your printing capabilities.

Once you set up the PowisPrinter™ to your computer, you can use

any of your computer’s installed fonts, print bitmap images for logos or

styling, store hundreds of document titles for later retrieval, see the

entire Binderstrip™ as you design it, and use your computer’s full size

keyboard.

And there’s more! With a simple service modification to your

Fastback® binding machine, you can dock the PowisPrinter™ to a

Fastback® binder, and the two machines work together. This allows

the printer to print on the book’s spine immediately before binding.

Which allows you to print and bind in one easy step.

So sit back, relax, and get to know your PowisPrinter™.

harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning

the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference

by one or more of the following actions:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

FIRST TIME SETUPII

FIRST TIME SETUP

A. What’s Included

Your PowisPrinter™ and accessories are shipped in a single box.

This includes:

• The fantastic PowisPrinter™

• Keyboard and Cable

• User’s Manual

• Power Cord

• Two Foil Cartridges — one gold and one silver

• Software Package (compatible with Windows 95™)

• Printer to PC cable

• Keyboard Foot

B. Unpacking

1. Remove and unpack the Accessory Pack from the cradle (figure 6).

2. Lift out the printer cradle from its carton (figure 7).

3. On a stable surface, drop the sides of the cradle and take out the

printer (figure 8).

4. Position the machine on the desk, table, or counter where it will

reside. Place the 6" long purple cylinder onto the keyboard’s foot

(Figure 9).

C. Plugging In

1. Plug the keyboard cable into the bottom Input Port (figure 1).

2. The Power Switch is located at the lower left on the back of the

machine (figure 2). Check to see that the Power Switch is “Off” by

depressing the “O” side of the Power Switch.

3. Plug the Power Cord into the outlet on the back of the machine.

Then connect the Power Cord to a standard, grounded electrical

outlet.

D. Loading a Foil Cartridge

1. Open the Front Door. Notice the illustration for loading a foil

cartridge on the inside of the door.

2. Take out one of your foil cartridges. Remove the orange shipping

tab.

3. Look at your foil cartridge. Does the foil balloon out? If it does,

turn the purple wheel on the cartridge clockwise, so the foil

tightens up. The foil should have no slack.

4. Now squat down and look in the machine. Carefully insert the

cartridge over the printhead (figure 10). The foil should slide in the

gap between the drum and the printhead. Listen for a click that

tells you the cartridge is snugly in place.

5. Close the Front Door.

PRINTING A QUICK TITLEIII

PRINTING A QUICK TITLE

1. Turn the Power Switch “ON”. The Power Switch is located at

the lower left on the back of the machine (figure 2). The green

Power ON light on the front of the machine will blink.

The keyboard display will show “Printer self-test.” When the

warm-up cycle is completed, the green Power ON light will

remain on, and the display will show:

This screen is called the Text Screen.

2. Type a few words — for example, “hot dog.”

3. Press PRINT.

4. The screen prompts you for a book width. Type “s.” Then type

“35” (as though you have 35 sheets of paper).

5. Press ENTER.

6. Insert a narrow strip into the Binderstrip™ Feed Entry (figure

1), adhesive side up.

7. The printer will now print the Binderstrip™, and eject it from

the Feed Exit.

And that’s all there is to it — you just printed your first

Superstrip™. Feels good, doesn’t it?

A. Orientation and Zone Keys

The orientation and zone keys help you create original and

interesting Binderstrip™ titles. By using these keys, you can print

text across, up and down, sideways, in the middle, at the bottom, at

the top, in all areas of the strip! The orientation and zone keys are

located in the bottom left corner of the keyboard, on and above

the book image (Figure 3).

Zone Keys: Placing Your Text

The zone keys are located on the spine of the book image (Figure

11). They represent the different “zones” of a book’s spine — the

top zone, middle zone, and bottom zone. When you want to put

text in a certain zone, just press the corresponding key. For

example, if you want your text in the middle of the Binderstrip™ ,

press the Middle Zone key. Or if you want text at the top, press the

Top Zone key. It’s that easy. And remember, you can put text in

one zone, two zones, or even all three zones of one Binderstrip™.

Orientation Keys: Setting Up the Direction of Your Text

Within each zone, you have to decide how to orient your text.

That’s where the orientation keys come in. The orientation keys are

the three small round buttons labeled with ABCs, located above the

book image. They orient the text in three different ways: Landscape,

Stacked, or Portrait.

Hints:

• Stacked orientation permits only one line of

text per zone.

• If you have a lot of text to print, try

Landscape.

• Portrait orientation usually has room for

only a few characters.

offset. And you can work with any of these features at any point

while designing your strip.

To select a menu item, press the MENU key (figure 12) and use

the arrow keys to scroll through the menu. Press the number of
