Standard Folds Operating Manual
To set up the folding machine:
1. Make initial length settings for the first and
second folds. (see pages 15 and 16).
2. Load a few sheets of blank paper between the
paper guides on the feed table (see page 12).
3. Turn the off/on/speed control knob (18) to
fold two or three sheets.
4. Check that the fold is as desired.
5. Make fine adjustments in the fold length (see
page 17) and skew (see page 19). Test until
the fold is as desired.
6. Remove trial material, load the document
stack and turn on the switch.
Standard Folds
The scales on the folding machine fold tables contain
symbols and guide lights for the five most popular
folds and colored bands for the three most popular
paper sizes. This makes it easy to adjust the machine
for these folds.
Only the simple controls at the top of the folding
machine are needed to set up the machine.
NOTE
Before changing fold settings or making
fine adjustments, be sure the folding
area of the folding machine is cleared of
all sheets. Either:
• Let the feed area run out of paper.
• Press thumb or finger lightly on top of
the stack on the feed table while the
machine is running. (See illustration
at the top of page 16.) Feeding will
stop and the machine will clear itself.
This allows repeated trials without
reloading paper each time.
