(5) General explanation on System function
1. Standard mode:
(For standard size papers)
When the power switch is turned on, the
machine is set to the "standby state" under the
standard mode. Only one indicator light is lit in
the Standard & Self-defined display area at the
position of "A4 Single fold or Letter Single fold".
(Picture 13)
ln the standby state, press any of the
four-cursor keys to move the indicator light
according to your requirement. Then press the
central SET key, and the baffles on the upper
and lower folding plates will move to the preset
positions and a sheet of paper will be folded. 24
types of standard position are memorized in the
machine: 4 types of standard paper size and 6
folding modes (Picture 14)
When the upper and lower folding plates are
under standard place, you can fine adjust by
entering into "fine adjustment mode".
However, the adjusted positions cannot be
memorized automatically.
(See page 11 Fine Adjustment under standard
mode)
2. Self-defined mode:
(For non-standard size papers)
Under the standby state, press the cursor keys
left and right simultaneously. The machine will
then enter into the self-defined mode. A number
from I to lV will be shown on the "Standard &
Self-defined display" area.
Press Cursor key left to decrease to I. Press
Cursor key right to increase up to lV. "ll" means
self-defined area ll as shown in the right picture,
total 4 areas. (Picture 15)
lf the central SET key is pressed, the baffles on
the folding plates will move automatically to the
requested position and fold one test sheet.
(Picture 16) Picture 16

tn the original setting by the factory, the lower folding plate is positioned.at
the starting point ("0; point), whereas the upper folding plate will move to the
following position.
Area t - Upper folding plate positioned at about 2.8" (7.11cm)
Area ll - Upper plate positioned at about 4' (10.16cm)
Area lll - Upper plate positioned at about 4-8" (12.19cm)
Area IV - Upper plate positioned at about 5.6' (14.22cm)
After choosing one of the Area (l-lv), go on to the Fine adjustment under
Self-defined mode (See Page 12)
Note: To quit the self-defined mode without making fine adjustments, press
"up" or "down" cursor keY.
3. Fine adjustment under Standard mode:
Under standard mode, press "speed +" and
"speed -" simultaneously to enter into "fine
adjustment" mode. (Picture 17) Then the digital
display will show "nP-1". (Picture 19)
To choose the lower folding plate, press the
cursor key down. The digital display will show
"nP-2". Pictu re 17
On pressing the cursor key left, the baffle will move toward starting point.
On pressing tne cursor key right, the baffle will move away from starting

4. Fine adjustment under Self-defined mode:
Under self-defined mode, press "speed +" and "speed -" simultaneously to
enter into fine adjustment mode. The digital display will show "nP-1". This
operation is just as same as the fine adjustment under Standard mode.
The only difference is that when pressing "STOP" key after the
adjustments have been done, the positions of upper/lower folding plates is
memorized automatically. lf you fold the same size paper of non-standard
at the next, no more adjustment is necessa!'y.
Note Memory can be stored in each Area 1, Area ll, Area lll and
Area lV. (Total 4 memories)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Any fine adjustments under "standard mode" are not memorized once you
exit from the mode you selected or once the power switch is turned off.
Any fine adjustments under "self-defined mode" can be memorized by
pressing STOP key immediately after the adjustments. lf you exit from the
self-defined moele or the power switch is turned off before pressing the
STOP key, memory will be lost.
5. Gross-Fold
Cross folding refers to performing the second fold for the sheets already folded in the single
fold.
* Press the paper crease hard by using the hand before setting them on the feed table. Do
not stack too many sheets on the paper feed table.

(6) Digital Display function
ln addition to the counting of folded sheets, the digital display can show the
total numbers of folded sheets up to "99999999". Under the stand-by mode,
the digital display shows the current folded numbers. Once "RESET" key is
pressed, the number can be cleared out, and then "0" will be shown. While
the digital display showing "0", press.RESET'key again. Then, it will show
2 groups of figures such as "Hxxxx" and "Lxxxx". For instance, "H0012" and
"13456' means the total numbers of folds is 123456 sheets.
