PAPER FOLDING FUNCTION

Overview

When a paper folding unit is installed, you can fold papers in Z-fold and C-fold. When a saddle finisher (100-sheet stapling) is installed, you can use saddle folds.
The paper sizes that can be selected vary depending on the type of paper fold.

  • Special media such as transparency film and tab paper cannot be used.
  • The paper folding function cannot be used with the staple and hole punch function. However, it can be used with them if the paper size for Z-fold is 11" × 17", A3 or B4.

Multiple Fold (when Saddle Fold is selected)

If Saddle Fold is selected, multiple sheets can be folded together. Five sheets of paper are folded at a time.

  • When four or less papers are set, four or less papers are folded at a time.
  • If five or more papers are set and if four or less papers remain, the remaining number of papers are folded at a time.
  • Some types of paper reduces the number of sheets that are folded every set. For example, three sheets are folded at a time in the case of heavy paper.
