On the continuous paper 2, the patterns at the respective page positions of both the cover sheets a 1 and a 2 and the intermediate sheets b to e in the booklet product A are repeatedly printed.

  The continuous paper 2 is run slowly with the base paper slitter 3a turned on to divide the base paper 2a from the continuous paper 2, and the base paper 2a is subjected to initial provisional portions other than the base paper at this time. The paper is passed through the base paper path 6 while reaching the pair of feed rolls 5 while being taken up by the take-up roll 8a. At this time, the paper path and tension of the base paper 2 a are adjusted by the paper path adjusting roll 7. Further, the nip roll 11 is turned off and the glue application nozzle 12 is turned off in each of the laminating devices 9a to 9d when the base paper 2a is passed.

  Next, the divided paper 2e, which is the first sheet (lowermost layer) of the booklet product A, is turned on, and the third divided paper slitter 3d for separating the divided paper 2e is turned on. Divide from the part. Then, the divided paper 2e is separated from the passage leading to the initial provisional winding device 8a, and is positioned above the outer portion of the base paper 2a by the first turn bar device 14a from the divided paper guide roll 4 through the first overlapping passage 13a.
