Abstract
Servers (4a, 4b) respectively define printing informations (2b, 3b) inclusive of identifying informations ID1, ID2 of a paper block (2) and a cover (3) whereas printing machines (1a, 1b) respectively perform a printing operation on the paper block (2) and the cover (3). Information readers (6a, 6b) respectively read the printing informations of the paper block (2) and the cover (3) so as to supply the information thus acquired to a book-binding controller (7). Based on either of the informations thus supplied, the book-binding controller (7) supplies a book binding apparatus (20) or (80) with a control signal (CS) of settings for the book binding process. Additionally, the control signal (CS) of the settings for the book binding process is outputted when the ID1 and ID2 are in correspondence. Based on the printing information of the paper block, respective quantities of movement of the laterally movable members (31, 32, 42, 43, 61, 62) are automatically regulated.
