Binding Documents by Perfect Binding

If your printer is equipped with the perfect binder, the Perfect Binding function is available. Perfect binding is a binding method that applies heated glue to printed sheets to form a book block, encloses the book block in a cover sheet, and trims away excess paper to create neat edges.

Depending on the printer you are using, this function may not be available.
