			for the better printing quality.

			7.).
		∙ The spot-glued parts must be pressed flat. There must be no creases in
		∙	the paper.
			The paper-stapling must be applied from the front of paper and the
		∙	paper must be flat (Refer to Figure 1-8.).
			Paper-stapling must be applied for both feeding directions (Refer to
			Figure 1-9.).
		∙ The paper-stapling should be flat (Refer to Figure 1-10.).
		∙ Never use metal staples.
		∙ The position of binding must be outside of printable area.
		∙ Multi-part paper should be bound firmly to each other and the binding
			must not be too large.
