The selection of a correct size of WIRE-O® binding is important, in order to obtain a neat
presentation and a professionally finished book. A measuring gauge (capacity selector) is
provided at the rear of the paper tray to determine the correct size number.
10.1 Holding the complete book together with covers, determine which slot matches the
thickness of the book by sliding the book into the correct upright gap of the capacity
selector. It should be a secure fit, but not forced.
