Specifying the Perfect Binding Settings
If the PCL 6 printer driver is used, the Perfect Binding can be specified in the Finishing menu on the
Detailed Settings tab. If the PCL 5c printer driver is used, it can be specified in the Setup tab. For
printing methods, see the printer driver Help.

maximum number of sheets that can be bound as a single book block varies depending on the
thickness of the paper used in the book block.
