TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I concur with the two Roberts (Lauriston and Kay): Sometimes ya gotta get a printed copy out the door immediately, and the only way to do it is to print and bind it yourself.
It's part of my job. It only comes up once or twice a year, and it's typically only one or two copies, but it happens.

The other requirements are fairly demanding.
It says, "Performs Technical Publications administrative duties, such as filing, copying, binding, and archiving, as required and assigned."
That's pretty standard for small-run / custom hardware where hard copies are provided. Somebody orders a unit, you print or copy the manual and bind it. Given the potential legal exposure with medical devices it's probably better practice to have docs responsible for that than having a minimum-wage clerk do it and maybe send the wrong doc.
