Generating bound documents

摘要

A method of generating bound documents includes the step of conveying sheets of a print medium through a printing station. A printing process is carried out on the sheets in the printing station. The sheets are conveyed through an adhesive application station. Adhesive is applied to each sheet proximate an edge of each sheet in the adhesive application station. A predetermined number of the sheets are stacked together at a stacking station, so that respective strips of adhesive are aligned with each other. A binding operation is performed on said predetermined number of sheets so that said predetermined number of sheets are bound together to define a document.
