Abstract
There is provided, within a printing system, a system for binding a set of individually folded N-up prints. The binding system includes a folding device for folding each of the N-up prints, one at a time, such that each individually folded N-up print includes a folded edge. The binding system further includes a stacker for receiving the set of individually folded N-up prints when delivered thereto and a binding device for applying an adhesive layer to the stacked set of individually folded N-up prints. The adhesive layer contacts each of the folded edges of the individually folded N-up prints so as to provide a secure binding relationship between each of the individually folded N-up prints. During the printing and binding mode, if a different type of substrate is detected in the substrate tray other than the type selected, operation of the binding system is inhibited.
