FM5 Double Parallel Fold
2
In Fold Method 5 (FM5):
• The leading edge of the paper is stopped by Fold Stopper 1.
• The paper flexes toward the nip of fold rollers ¬ and Á which performs the first fold.
• Fold Stopper 2 stops the paper and flexes it into the nip of fold rollers Á and ®.
• Fold rollers Á and ® perform the second crease and feed the folded paper in exit path.
• Fold Stopper 3 is not used.
FM3, FM4, and FM5 follow the same sequence but the resultant fold is different:
• In FM5 Fold Stopper 1 is positioned so the paper will fold into halves when it enters the first nip.
• This critical positioning of Fold Stopper 1 accounts for the difference in folding at the next nip.
