CROSS FOLDING
Cross folding refers to folding a document in one direction,
then running it through the folder a second time to be folded
again.
Common Application: Folding a 11” x 17” document in half,
then letter folding it to t 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, rmly run your hand over the
fold crease to help atten the paper before loading.
2. Attach the cross fold paper guide onto the feed tray
paper guide (Fig. 10b) and lower the guide onto the
paper stack.
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 conveniently stored under the
lower fold table when not in use (Fig 10c).

Thicker paper from 28 # up to 65 # may require special stacker
wheel setup, moving the stacker wheels closer than the position
“A” slot.
If stacking is inconsistent, move the stacker wheels from the
standard position #1 (Fig. 12a) to the thick paper position #2
(Fig. 12b) as indicated in the pictures. Position # 2 may also be
userful for small folded documents.

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
1. It is recommended to let forms cool for one-half hour, from the laser printer, before folding. This allows toner to set
on the forms and static electricity to discharge. A Jogger is recommended for best results. The Jogger squares the
forms and dissipates heat and static electricity created by laser printers.
2. Clean in-feed tires and fold rollers with recommended roller cleaner & rejuvenator to remove paper dust and toner. A
Cleaner Kit is available from your dealer. A damp cloth with water is the best alternative.
CAUTION: Do not use any chemicals other than the roller cleaner & rejuvenator or water.
Fig. 15 Fold Rollers
1. Make sure machine is turned off and unplugged. All folders
have four (4) rubber rollers (Fig. 15).
2. Remove the upper and lower fold plates.
3. Using roller cleaner, spray a new cotton cloth until the cloth
is saturated. Wipe the wet cloth in a back and forth motion
making sure to clean the entire surface of the fold rollers.
Next use a dry cloth and wipe off excess toner. The cloth
should be covered with black toner surplus from cleaning the
rollers.
4. Run 10-15 sheets of blank copy paper through the folder to
ensure all cleaner has been removed from the fold rollers.
Running blank sheets will remove any excess residue of
cleaner on the rollers.
