Adjust the Stitch Pitch

The stitch pitch is the space between the stitches. The machine automatically calculates
the stitch pitch according to the size of the paper and the number of stitches. The
stitches are inserted symmetrically on the spine of the book.
If a non-standard stitch pitch is needed, use STITCH PITCH to make the adjustment.
