Introduction
By default, the folder is adjusted to make a correct Z-fold.
However, if you use different types of media you can adjust the Z-fold in two ways:
•
Adjust the folding shift.
•
Adjust the folding skew.
This section describes the difference between a folding shift and a folding skew and how
to make appropriate fold corrections.
Note:
When your folded sheets show a folding skew and a folding shift, adjust the folding
