Custom Folds Operating Manual
Custom Folds
The folding machine can be used to fold a
variety of sheet lengths and widths into the
preset fold types or into variations of them.
All custom folds are set up by first folding a
sample sheet into the desired fold, then
measuring two distances:
1. From the leading edge to the first fold.
2. From the first fold to the second fold.
(See page 18 for folding sequences)
These distances are then set using the inch
scales on the fold tables. In the illustration,
the indicator (38) is set at 8.5".
The dimension of the first fold should be set
on the first fold table (to the right) and the
second on the second fold table (to the left).
Two measurement examples are illustrated.
Make fine adjustments to the fold lengths in
the same way as described for standard folds
(see page 17).
NOTE
The guide lights are not used to make set-
tings for custom folds.
NOTE
Treat a single fold as if it were the second
fold. Set the indicator on the first fold table
all the way down to the single fold icons.
Then set the dimension to the fold on the
inch scale on the second fold table.
