As we all know to live in this world we have to perform some activity by which we can earn money. There are many activities by which we can earn money and meet the standards to live in this society.

Designed with the smaller business inmind, the Dahle 20314 is a cross-cut shredder that offers Level 3security and brings you into compliance with federal regulations. The

Overview:While both machines are tapebinding systems, a brief overview of the machines will help usunderstand the vast differences between the two. As mentioned in theformer, both systems are tape binding machines. Tape binding is a typeof binding that allows a user to produce bound documents with a thermaltape adhesive spine. The user will be able to make these documents in atimely matter without having the need to punch paper prior to binding.Tape binding has proven to be one of the most fast, efficient bindingstyles while maintaining a professional-looking end product. In thefollowing paragraphs I intend to discuss each model individually thatwill shed light on the different applications of each model.The Bind Cycle:TheFastback Model 9 is semi-automatic tape-binding machine that is able toproduce bound documents in a matter of seconds. It is considered a"semi-automatic" system because they only user interaction with thedocument is loading the pages in the throat of the machine. The rest ofthe binding process is automated, by pressing a button. A strip iscreased and put in the throat of the machine prior to putting the pagesin. Once the pages have been loaded in the throat of the machine, theuser will square up the pages and then press the green button whichwill trigger the binding process. The binding time will differdepending on the type of the strip used on the document being produced.On average, the bind cycle is thirty to forty five seconds. The userknows the bind cycle is over when "remove book" appears on the screenplaced at the front of the machine. The book is then removed and placedon the cooling racks for a few minutes to ensure the glue sets.TheFastback Model 15xs automates this binding process further. Instead offolding and loading the binding strip in the throat of the machineprior to loading pages, the pages are loaded first. The user pressesthe green bind button; the machine will close and secure the pageswhile automatically measuring the width of the document. In turn, thewidth of strip to use will be displayed for the user. The user willthen insert the necessary strip size in the strip uptake located on theright side of the machine. The bind cycle is roughly 17 seconds. Again,the cycle varies depending on the type of strip used on the document.The cycle is over once "remove book" is displayed on the screen.Applications:Boththe Fastback Model 9 and Fastback Model 15xs work in conjunction withother Powis Parker machines that enable the user to produce hard-bounddocuments, photobooks and tape bound books in 11", 8.5" or 14" (onlyfor 15xs) sizes. However, the Fastback Model 15xs enables the user touse multiple other applications whereas the Fastback Model 9 is morelimited. In addition to the applications mentioned in the former, theboth machines can also produce perfect-bound documents. The process isexactly like the normal tape binding process except the document has togo thru two binding cycles as opposed to one. Additionally, theFastback Model 15xs works in conjunction with a Powis Parker spineprinting machine that enables the user to foil imprint the spine tocustomize documents.Equipment Recommendation:Inreview, both machines will make tape bound documents in a timelymatter, on-demand. The Fastback Model 9 is a more manual bindingprocess and is an ideal fit for short-run jobs of 10-15 binds at atime. The Fastback Model 15xs, being half the bind cycle of theFastback Model 9 is a better fit for companies foreseeing longer runjobs because of its more automated features. Both pieces of equipmentwork with other Powis Parker Fastback systems that enable the user tomake hard-bound booklets with endless customization options.Customizable features are further extended with the 15xs. There are 28different strip colors available with the Fastback Model 15xs asopposed to just 11 with the Fastback Model 9. Spine printing andperfect binding also come exclusively with the Fastback Model 15xs. IfI were to recommend the Fastback Model 9 to certain market I wouldrefer it to businesses that have short-runs and are looking for asystem that has some capabilities to produce a number of differentbound documents. Attorneys, CPAs, engineers and marketing firms aremajor prospects for this model. The Fastback Model 15xs is more idealfor a user with larger runs and bind often. Because of its variousapplications, the Fastback Model 15xs is ideal for not only theFastback Model 9 market, but print shops, education service districtsand large firms that have a central print facility.
