CROSS FOLDING
Cross folding refers to folding a document in one pass and
then running it through the folder a second time to be folded
again.
Common Application: Folding a 11” x 17” document in half
and then letter folding it to fit in a standard #10 envelope.
1. Load folded paper into the feed tray with the fold
crease facing the non-operator side of the folder
(Fig 10a).
Note: For best results, firmly run your hand over the
fold crease to help flatten the paper before loading.
2. Attach the cross fold paper guide onto the feed tray
paper guide (Fig. 10b) and lower guide.
Note: Cross folding ability will vary based on the paper
weight and type. If the paper is too heavy it may not
be able to be cross folded.
Note: The guide can be convientlly stored under the
lower fold table when not in use (Fig 10c).
