The folding knife motor (M719) rotates the crank
°
axle 180 , which protrudes the folding knife
toward the contact surface of two folding rollers.
The two folding rollers rotate to drag and fold the
sheet(s) of paper.
The location at which the paper is folded will be
controlled by the position of the booklet stopper.

The three-folding gate SD (SD706) changes the
position of the three-folding gate so that the
paper carried from the folding rollers will be con-
veyed toward the three-folding stopper.
After the paper has been stopped by the three-
folding stopper, it is bent along the surfaces of
the upper folding roller and the three-folding
roller. Then the paper is carried through the con-
tact surface of the two rollers, which completes
the second folding operation.
The location for the second folding is determined
by the position of the three-folding stopper.

The folding full LED (LES729) and the folding full
PS (PS729), which consist of a pair of translu-
cent sensors, detect the booklet tray full condi-
tion.
If a predefined time period has elapsed since the
paper shielded the sensor light, a booklet full
condition is reported.
