Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for variably printing and electively binding sheets. A printer is used to print variable sets of information onto a plurality of sheets, sequence the printed sheets, and assemble the printed sheets into a stack. Particular sheets within the stack of the printed sheets are selectively bound together. The binding is accomplished using a toner or other adhesive selectively applied to the sheets. This allows for the printing and binding of different booklets from an assembled stack of sheets, for example, without having to remove each booklet from the stack and separately bind it.
