Terminology
LEADING EDGE

LETTER FOLD
A fold that divides the sheet into three panels with the front of
the top and bottom parts of the sheet facing in. (Sometimes
called a “C” fold.)
OPERATOR SIDE
The side of the folding machine that is nearest the operator.
Operating controls can be conveniently reached from this side.
No controls are on the opposite side.
SINGLE FOLD
A fold that divides the sheet into two panels. This is the first fold
in the sheet and there is not a second fold.
STANDARD FOLD
Any of the five folds for which icons are shown on the fold table
scales when made in standard (8.5" x 11", 8.5" x 14" & 11" x
17") size sheets. Those five folds become custom folds when
made in other sheet sizes as do variations of the five folds in any
size sheet.
TRAILING EDGE
The edge at the last part of the document to be drawn into the
machine.
ZIG-ZAG FOLD
A fold that divides the sheet into three panels with the front of the
top part of the sheet facing out and the front of the bottom part
of the sheet facing in. This fold is often used to allow the address
to show through a window envelope. (Sometimes called a “Z” fold
or accordion fold.)
